I just installed it on FC4 last Friday to record the F1 race last Sunday because I was working all weekend. Works quite well, I tried a bit of live TV watching also, you can pause/rewind live TV, that's kinda cool but the main thing I wanted it for was to act as a VCR. I don't know how it compares to Tivo because we don't have Tivo in Canada. I compiled it myself because the only place that has RPMs of it (that I know of) is atrpms.net and I had some trouble installing them. I took a few notes when I did my install so I know what I'll need to do next time I install it. Here's a list of the packages I needed to install over the default Workstation install packages: qt-devel perl-DBI mysql perl-DBD-MySQL mysql-server qt-MySQL lame lame-devel lame and lame-devel comes from atrpms.net Also there's a patch you need to use to compile MythTV 0.18.1 in FC4 with gcc4. I took the patch in the atrpms.net SRPMS package for MythTV and it compiled fine with it. It's the cvsfixes patch. Email me offlist if you want and I'll send you the patch. Other than that just follow the steps in the MythTV installation guide and you shouldn't have any problems. Hope this helps! -- Jean-Rene Cormier <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
