<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am almost nearing completion of my first media center
build, using Mythtv. So far, my experience has been really good with just a few
hiccups along the way like getting Lirc (*shudder*) going. I am also completely
new to Linux, although an experienced Windows user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My build is using:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>MythTV 0.21<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ubuntu 8.10<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hauppauge Nova-S Plus DVB-S tuner card<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Asus GeForce EN8500GT graphics card<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>All displayed very nicely on a Sony KLV-40V300A 40”
LCD TV over DVI->HDMI.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also use my media center for XBMC - watching movies, tv
shows and listening to my music library. Myth is used purely for Live TV and recorded
TV.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would be interested in hearing from anyone else who has a
similar setup, particularly dual use with XBMC. Still trying to work out the
optimum way to switch between these applications from the remote.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Aaron<o:p></o:p></p>
