Hey all, Thought i'd just let you know that I've just got my myth setup up and running. The backend is an old AMD K6-2 450Mhz, 256Mb / 250Gb and I've got an Xbox as the frontend. I'm running a Win TV Nova USB which is a DVB tuner and everything's pretty much ok - the backend uses just 5% processor time when watching live tv or recording - pretty impressive given the spec of the pc!
It's built on Fedora Core 3, but with kernel 2.6.10 compiled without DVB support - i then got the latest dvb drivers from cvs and compiled them (not patched the kernel yet). I had to go down this route as the drivers that shipped with Fedora were too troublesome and rendered the DVB tuner unusable (errors along the lines of ttusb_process_muxpack: cc discontinuity and various other ttusb errors). Everything's pretty much ok now, but NFS is giving me some grief - i've got a permissions problem that I just can't shift - it's driving me mad. Also, as mentioned in a previous post, I'm trying to get UK DVB digital radio working and recording to MP3... Not too bad for my first attempt at Linux - i've been 100% windows for years but thought I'd take the leap and I must say I've been nothing but impressed so far. Don't think I can quite bring myself around to wiping XP from my desktop, but give it time ;-) Thanks to all the guys who helped make myth - I'd really like to get up to speed with programming Linux and muck in and help out (i've got many years of windows programming under my belt). If anyone's got any good links to get me going I'd appreciate it! Cheers, James.
