My wife's been urging me to put in a way to record shows for later
playback, and I'm thinking MythTV might be the best way. I understand
it's a little difficult to get working, and I want to use a fanless
system so the sound isn't drowned out by the fan.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am looking to finish installing a card= Happauge 2250 dual tuner into

(since it is a dual tuner type and will let me do that)


I've been using MythTV for many years and am happy with it.  I use packages 
from the 3rd party deb-multimedia.org repository.

MythTV will let you watch live tv, schedule/record shows, and will even skip 
the commercials automatically if you set it up to do so.

I haven't heard of any software called "wekk" but on linux you can use
mythtv. No doubt there are heaps of others.

A google with linux+media+centre should bring up others.
