Comment My Setup - mythTV backend / XBMC frontend (Score 1) 223

I didnt't see this comment - but I have had a hybrid mythtv system runnning for almost a year now. Backend - Cheap computer parts off ebay and basement AMD 1Gig - had to replace a burnt out chip on ebay $40 256 Ram 2 200 Gig Drives - I had to buy this cheap PVR 250 DVD drive - used to convert DVD to DIVX Debian / MythTV Torrent server running off RSS (SiFi Channel) FrontEnd Xbox - Softmode no HD replacement XBMC - IF you dont know what this is then its a sad day Mythtv Python Script run from XBMC Remote - remote for the XBOX so I could use the same one for TV/XBOX Thats it! To program my Mythtv I just update recording info via Firefox anywhere. My only comment is that once you get it running DONT apt-get any new versions of MYTHTV because sometime upgrades blow up your database. Other than that I think I might get the new HD encoder that works with Linux or just another PVR250 ($80) Later - I need to check my recorded show tonight from work...
