| software products, with ports to the leading hardware platforms

Linux MCE looks hot (with video)
,----[ Quote ]
| MythTV, the popular Linux based PVR project, has been around for some
| time. It's nice, and it functions well, but it's only as functional
| as Windows Media Center Edition plus, it can be difficult to install
| and configure. Linux MCE, which wraps MythTV up into a nice package
| and places it squarely on top of the leading Linux distribution
| Ubuntu -- may be poised to change some of that.

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.

Monolith Media Center brings MythTV to the technophobe
,----[ Quote ]
| If MythTV's promise of a free Windows Media Center alternative sounds
| exciting, but you can't quite bring yourself to navigate the trials of
| a Linux install on your own, then you might be interested in
| Monolith's pre-built Media Center PCs, which come with MythTV
| pre-installed on top of Ubuntu Linux.

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.
