-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I know this has been discussed here before, but I have just spent about 1.5 hrs searching the list archives (no hits for "PVR"), Google'ing, readiing HOWTO's, and getting utterly confused, so I will beg forgiveness, and ask the list. My problem: I want to install a PVR on this computer without fubar'ing my current setup. My requirements: Watch live TV, record while I'm away, watch recorded shows. No need to record and watch live TV at the same time. FM Radio and Internet Radio would be nice, but not necessary. Prefer not to do a kernel compile, but this is not out of the question. Prefer not to spend over $50 US on TV card. Can't afford any extra hardware. This computer - PIII 600, 512 MB ram. Dual-booting Win XP Pro and FC1. [root@moe root]# uname -a Linux moe 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl #1 Wed Feb 18 16:38:32 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux KDE 3.2 No TV Tuner/Video Capture card yet. My confusion: After reading http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.2, it looks like it's not too difficult, and I see there is yum support, but I'd like some reassurance. :-) Has anyone installed MythTV on a system similar to mine, if so, how did it go? What about additional drivers for ALSA, lirc, capture cards, etc? Is my hardware good enough for what I want to do? Any other comments would be welcome.
