What I am wanting to do seems simple to me, but I don’t
know much about homemade PVR’s, so it could be quite difficult. First, I’ll
build a little computer in one of those cool cube cases (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-146&depa=1)
and stick Gentoo or Debian on it. I’ll stick some kind of TV tuner card
in it, and plug it into CATV. I want to be able to record shows on TV at any
time and have some kind of remote interface to control it by. I would be
happiest with a pretty little web-interface, but SSH-ing into the box and
setting up /etc/crontab with vi manually wouldn’t be the end of the
world. The box needs to operate totally headless, only CATV, network and power
going into it. I want to be able to stream the recorded shows off that box from
any [windows/linux/mac] system on my network. Next, I want to be able to watch live TV (when not recording
something) across the network. Now, from what I’ve gathered, this MAY be possible with
MythTV. If it is, does anyone have any hardware recommendations for the setup, specifically
the capture card? Thanks, Chris Miller |
