MythTV is an open source digital video recording package, similar to TiVo. First is a solid intro to what MythTV can do. After that, I ... all » introduce the mediaMVP set top box and how it can be used to expand MythTV to every TV in the house for not to much doough-ray-me.

@GavinPalmer1984 apart from the crazy bandwidth needed, yes.

@durhamhs you should goto the mythbuntu site. you can install mythbuntu inside kubuntu. it has a settings manager ect. that has greatly aided me in getting it up and running. just remember mythtv is really 2 programs. back end and front end. back end sets up the cards, where to put your stuff. getts the channels set up ect. the front end is the fun bit. you can install it on various programs. btw your ip is 127.0.0.1 or "localhost". thats the defualt adress for your own computer.

@TheTIprogrammer perhaps the hd-pvr from haupagge is networked? if so im thinking you have not got samba. you need to look like a windows pc to the unit to share its files. samba is a program for getting onto windows file sharing. hope this helps.

I'm using a HD-PVR to record game videos. Can I use MythTV to pull video off of the device? I don't know how to get video off of a PVR on ubuntu.

I like your video so far. Could you please make a video on the steps necessary to set up or configure MythtV on a Kubuntu 10.10 system please? I have downloaded MythTv and I have a TV card installed in the PC. When I get to the screen which asks for my IP address and other items I am lost! Do I have to sign on to the MythTv database first? Please show the steps to take! Best Regards!

how do u get these channels? Do you need to call cable companies to get those channels or the mythtv provides you those channels?

Can this server be used as a proxy for anyone on the internet?

@kennelm Yes, but this video was created in 2006 when many of us didn't care about HD. Plus it was under $100.

One downside is mediaMVP will not handle HD.
