Fred - Can you please give us/me some information about MythTV, for instance:-
- Can you use the standard MS media centre remote?
- Can you play DVDs from other regions - we have a lot of overseas DVDs?
- Can you copy (bought) DVDs to the hard drive/external drive?
- I just looked at ICE guide which I use, looks like a complicated setup for the guide?
- Does a wireless n/w connect work easily? I saw some Doco where it details the set up.
- Do front panel VFD displays work - are there drivers for them? - no big deal if it doesn't.
I am totally fed up with the large brand name MC which I bought for over $3000 - the VFD display does not work properly 100% of the time; there is a hardware/software incompatibility with VISTA and other issues so I am looking at the alternatives.
Linux MCE does look good but it does come with a lot of home automation which I would not be using so the MythTV might be the best option?
