This seems like a good thread to ask about MythTV, rather than starting a brand new thread. I've started looking into the idea of using MythTV, to set up a PVR, and I'm wondering whether I could run the back end on my music server (to avoid running an extra server). I'm currently running VortexBox, on a Tranquil PC, with a 1.6 Ghz Dual Core Intel Atom processor, 1Gb RAM & 1Tb Hard drive. I'd obviously have to use USB tuner modules, but I can't see that being a major problem. The question would be how to get VortexBox and MythTV running on the same machine. As far as I understand VortexBox runs on top of Fedora (version 11), and MythTV can also run on Fedora. So would it be possible to simply add the mythTV application to Fedora, so that it runs alongside Vortexbox. Hopefully somebody here may have some idea about whether this is possible and how to go about it. Thanks for any help.
