LinuxMCE

[Erez D]

I am in norway and stambledI on this thread. I use my cell for writing
so i try to make this short.
I tried linuxMCE a few years ago but after a lot of frustration i gave
it up(btw, mce uses myth/vdr anyway). I have a private sat dish and i
use both mythtv and VDR. and sometimes XBMC on top. if you are
planning to use DVB-S/S2 just get such card (i use hauppage nova hd
dvb-s2 which was recomended on some forums and works well for me. You
will need 2.6.28 for dvb-s2. I use the ubuntu 9.04). I heard of people
that were able to watch sky on mythtv with a legal card and a card
reader, dunno about yes (both sky and yes use NDS).
Cheers,
Erez
