What do you guys think about Mythbuntu? I like the idea that it
just works (supposedly).

I installed mythbuntu a couple of years ago. It was so much the
opposite of "just works" that, to this day, both me and my wife
record by setting the Yes receiver to automatically switch to the
right station (via the usual "order a viewing of a show"), while
independently telling the computer to record at the same time. The
script used literally does little more than "at starttime cat
/dev/video0 > program.mpg; at stoptime killall cat". In fact, the
only other thing is loading a bunch of settings to the encoder via
v4l.<br>
<br>
Now, if someone has a script for setting up mythtv with Yes and
configuring the blaster, I'd love to have it. I got stuck at the EPG
stage and never got past it, and frankly, we're kinda used to our
existing system, stone aged though it undoubtedly is.<br>
