Yes, there are simple one-brand "home theater in a box" units that can be controlled by one remote. But the fact is that if your goal is to build a flexible high performance home theater, you’re going to end up with multiple black or silver boxes each contributing its own specialized part to the glorious whole. So how do you, and other family members for that matter, operate all of these various components without an advanced degree in electronic engineering? That’s where Logitech’s Harmony 880 remote comes in.

Build your own MythTV PC. You don't do stuff like this to cut corners. You do it because you want what you want—and because it's fun. And a personalized MythTV is so much more than a PVR. You can combine HDTV, DVD, all kinds of music, radio, photos, even a plug-in videophone module. All you need is a little Linux know-how, assorted software components and plug-ins, an adventurous nature, and this book to tell you how it all goes together. Voilà—the entertainment hub of your dreams.

Developed for several years by volunteers, it offers a stable and extensible platform for automating all of the things you would expect from a PVR, and much more. Practical MythTV: Open Source PVR and Media Center takes a project-based approach to implementing your own MythTV setup. You get to pick and choose the functionality you want to install for your PVR, and will learn the details of everything from selecting hardware to advanced customization.

For reasons better left unexplained, I decided to try out MythTV on Ubuntu. For this, I leaned heavily on two HOWTOS: one written by Andrew Barbaccia and one by Joe Kallo. While each are very useful, I did run into a couple of issues that I wanted to pass along, and therefore, this HOWTO was born. In this HOWTO, I also give you links to various files along the way, so that you can see exactly how it is set up on my system.
