HTPC - Myhtbuntu

So after many years out TV has decided it is time to move on ...
And that has left me with the wonderful chance to convince my wife that it is time for a PC in the TV Room as well (that after the last comment whilst redoing the study that I need to keep in mind it is a study and not a server room :-)  )

I have started my investigation into HTPC (Home Theater PC) market with what is available and $$$, also what can be re-used from all the spares at home.

So you can expect a few more blog articles on this topic.

Important links I am busy to research:

I also thought it good to post my Geotag for further posts on localized settings and an article on Free-to-air sattelites.

Hardware used for testing:

So I can sucsesfully use TVTIME on the Ubuntu installation but MythTV still show "snow" when wathing live TV.

/etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml is the configuration file for tvtime

/home/[username]/.tvtime/stationlist.xml is the list of scanned channels
