I'm looking for some ideas to help me complete my
installation set-up.
I've just installed Myth on top of Ubuntu 8.04.1.
Out of curiosity, how does the price of an SD or HD
do it yourself pvr-style setup, e.g. MythTV or other,
compare to paying for a pvr from Topfield or Beyonwiz?
SD Topfield ... approx $700.00, with 200 GB HDD
HD Beyonwiz ... approx $1200.00, with 320 GB HDD
I've had an SD toppy for, oh, four years now. Only hiccup
was a damaged IR pickup which was repaired under warranty.
Live TV? What is that?
The only downside to the two PVRs I have played with: their
software is riddled with bugs. Not show stoppers, but real
annoying little gnats that have insane workarounds. These
machines are software heavy but ... sigh.
cheers
