[News] Building a Linux-based TV in Just 20 Minutes

KnoppMyth Install Screencast

,----[ Quote ]
| KnoppMyth is a linux distribution that tries to make the installation
| of MythTV and Linux as easy as possible. KnoppMyth R5E50 is the
| first KnoppMyth release to be based on MythTV 0.20.
| 
| I installed KnoppMyth R5E50 in about 20 minutes and have created
| a screencast of the process. The video in the screencast has been
| edited down to a little less than nine minutes.

Mythtv vs windows

,----[ Quote ]
| MythTV is free open source software that runs on the free Linux
| operating system. Using MythTv will considerably reduce your build
| cost because you won't need to pay for a Windows Media Center
| license. Also, Linux offers outstanding performance. You can use
| an older CPU and less memory, further cutting costs.

Pre-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.

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.
