So I've been using MythTV for several years now, however I've always been a little irked by how bloated it is, how finicky and little bugs and issues here and there.
I had looked at Freevo a few years ago, but back then it was not mature enough for me to switch. However after suffering some more MythTV issues, I've recently looked at Freevo and it looks much more mature. I'll be running under Gentoo Linux with one 'back end' where all recording takes place and three other machines in the house where playback of recorded TV shows will take place. I have some questions that I wasn't able to track down any (or clear) answers for online and some questions that can only be answered by actual users. 1. I have two HDHomeRun devices (http://www.silicondust.com/wiki/products/hdhomerun) that records my HDTV TV shows. Is Freevo compatible with these? 1a. If not compatible, how hard is it to extend Freevo to support other recorders? I've been coding for 12+ years now and so I wouldn't object to getting my hands dirty. 2. I have two PVR250 cards in my box using the IVTV driver. From what I can tell Freevo will support these just fine right? 3. How stable/reliable is the television recording? Basically I often have several shows airing at once that I need to record, some from my HDHomeRun devices some frmo my PVR250's. Is the recording of TV shows based on a schedule reliable and dependable? 4. Is there anything else I should be aware of? I look forward to leaving MythTV issues behind and move to Freevo :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
