My MythTV Server

By Dave

I finally worked out all the bugs on the MythTV server I made from my old PC. I had trouble getting the remote to work so I went out and bought another Hauppauge PVR-150 card to get the IR blaster and remote control. I had to reinstall MythDora for the remotes to work but now I have the ability to record 2 shows at once.

New PC & MythTV

By Dave

I’ve finally finished my new computer to replace my 5 year old tower. The new PC has a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 processor, 2GB RAM, and 2 300GB hard drives mirrored in a RAID-1 configuration so if one of them fails, I’ll still have all my data. The box it’s replacing has a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1GB RAM, and 1 160GB hard drive. Now that I’m sure I have everything from the old PC copied over to the new PC and backed up to my external hard drive, I’ve formatted the hard drive in the old PC and installed MythDora. MythDora is a Fedora Core and MythTV “All-In-One” CD/DVD. It will allow me to do all the stuff you can do with a TiVO for free.
