I'll second that. MythTV is "the dogs" (for a translation from English see http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml ) MythTV has a client/server architecture. The client/server architecture means any computer in the house can be used to view live TV or recordings. My TV is attached to a fanless discless Via Epia client that boots over the network from the server using drakTermServ. drakTermServ and mythtv work really well together. One day I'll do a write up on it. For anyone with a digital DVB-T video card the mythtv RPMs from PLF are not compiled with DVB support. I have a set of DVB enabled RPMs of recent myth CVS if anyone is interested. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
