Plenty of options out there, but I also wanted to be able to keep backups of recordings occasionally, and the commercial HD recorders tend to encrypt the recorded stream so it can only be played back via themselves.Īnother big benefit of a PC PVR system when compared to a dedicated box (eg Humax or similar) is that there is a split between back and front end, so one backend can service various frontend clients around the house via wifi. So, given the Toppy would need replacing at some point, I wanted something to receive HD. However there are an increasing number of HD channels being transmitted using DVB/T2 which I cannot get with the Toppy. I'm in the UK and just receive Freeview from the Sandy Heath transmitter. There is nothing really wrong with it (power supply capacitors - the Toppy achilles heel - having been replaced), but it only handles SD TV via DVB/T. I have a Topfield 5800 PVR which has been giving good service for some years. I ran into some pretty awkward problems along the way, and the worst of them were probably: Nonetheless I have got it all to go, and this summarises how I did it - what worked, what didn't work, and how I got around it. Therefore if reading this you think this guy just doesn't know what he's talking about with Linux, I wouldn't argue with you.

So my knowledge of how to do this has gone from absolute zero three to four weeks ago, to - well, still pretty close to zero - now. I have a lot of software development experience, but none at all with Linux. There are quite a lot of documents like this on the internet, but there are an awful lot of h/w - s/w combinations and they all have different challenges, so I thought I would add my experiences in the hope they might be useful to someone else following a similar route. This document summarises my experiences in getting a MythTV installation going.

However, unlike its Windows competitors it is difficult to install and get going - though once going it is quite rewarding. MythTV is a well known and powerful open source PVR suite running (mainly) on Linux. Building a MythTV PVR How to (or in some cases - not to) do it Introduction - the project
