Re: [mythtv-users] Mac OS X version for Formac Studio TVR

It has a built in scheduler, but you have to either hand enter everything or rely on a bogus service called TitanTV (http://www.titantv.com) for programming info. I have missed several shows due to TitanTV's inaccurate schedule and I am looking for alternatives. It occurs to me that MythTV has all the pieces I need for a replacement. I am interested in the EPG and recording scheduling portions. I believe I can code the part to plug this into the actual hardware. Anyone interested ? Yes, for sure. I have one as well. It is only used to transcode Video onto a Mac. I would love to attach it to my PC and use MythTV with it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mac OS X version for Formac Studio TVR
No, you miss my intention. I do not want to hack the Studio TVR to run on another platform. I want to use the database/program guide/scheduling pieces of MythTV on my Mac to drive it. If you want the Studio TVR to run on a non-Mac, start by contacting Formac.

Perhaps you could migrate Myth to OS X with the Formac driving it. Good Luck!
