My Media System ...is MMS
,----[ Quote ]
| So I began to integrate all the media applications like xmms,
| gwenview, mplayer, xine and so forth. The integration was
| restricted to teaching in all application to my remote control
| driven by lirc. One day I've managed to enable my wife to start
| a slide-show without me being at home. I was so proud and so happy.
| I believed myself to have reached the media-centric heaven. The
| truth was, it was actually unusable. I myself didn't remember all
| the keys on the remote anymore after we've been on vacation for
| two weeks. So I began to realize, that another solution must be found
| and I began to google around for media center applications, with
| MS-Windows also in my scope. For Windows there have been and are
| nice looking applications, but they all had one point in common, they all
| haven't been capable to handle DVB satellite cards, and this was a
| criterion since I would have had to abandon my VDR if I settle over
| to Windows. So at this point in time windows has got a 'no go' from
| me. The next months I concentrated myself on Linux, this was my
| personal medial Storm and Stress time. I've downloaded,
| compiled, patched and desperated a lot these days.

re-build MythTV Linux PVR eats Windows MCE for breakfast
,----[ Quote ]
| Basically this is an unpack-and-plug-in solution to your media
| streaming/live TV pausing/scheduled recording needs. Yes, you
| could build your own Linux box and install MythTV, but this saves
| you all the effort, is cheaper than a Windows Media Centre and
| gives you access to a vast range of fan-programmed add-ons.

Linux as a Media Centre
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as comparing Mythtv to Windows Media Centre, there is really
| no comparison, Mythtv is in a class of its own and puts WMC to shame
| in almost every department possible. This is the sort of application
| that could introduce Linux to many new users and households. Well done
| Isaac and the rest of the team, keep up the good work.

| If MythTV's promise of a free Windows Media Center alternative sounds

MythTV vs Windows Media Centre: is Linux still in with a chance?
,----[ Quote ]
| In terms of functionality, the machines were identical.

| MCE is beautiful to look at and use -- but if had the choice between a
| swankier interface and saving a few hundred dollars on the cost of the
| unit, I'd go for saving the money anyday.
