MythTV Distro Roundup - Part 3: MythDora

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I loved the system. It's dead easy to setup, easy to use, and very
| flexible and expandable. If you ask which of the three distros I liked best,
| that would depend on what kind of person was using them (ie, newbie vs.
| experienced user) and how much they wanted to tinker. For the new user,
| MythDora is the king all the way. For hackability, tweakability, and just
| plain old uber geeky fiddling, I'd say MythBuntu. And if you're a pioneer
| who likes to work with young distros or projects that are just getting off
| the ground, KnoppMyth would be the one for you.
|
| And that brings us to the end of our roundup, since these are really the only
| mainstream MythTV distros available right now. There are others, but given
| none that are classified as actual "distros" just yet, we'll be stopping
| here. In the future, we'll keep looking at more as soon as they become
| available.

Upgrading to Mythdora 5.0

,----[ Quote ]
| There are other great features, some of which I have yet to figure out how to
| take advantage of. To see them, see the release notes. I wish I had taken
| some before and after screenshots of Mythweb, the plugin that lets you manage
| most of MythTV’s features over the web. It has REALLY been improved. Here’s a
| really good example of how it looks now. Before for the videos your recorded,
| it would just show a small thumbnail, now, if you click on the recorded show,
| you get a plethora of information (and it looks neat too!)
|
| Overall I was VERY happy with the great job the Mythdora team did on this
| release. The upgrade went very smoothly and the new features are working very
| well.

Pre-build MythTV Linux PVR eats Windows MCE for breakfast

,----[ Quote ]
| Basically this is an unpack-and-plug-in solution to your media
| streaming/live TV pausing/scheduled recording needs. Â*Yes, you
| could build your own Linux box and install MythTV, but this saves
| you all the effort, is cheaper than a Windows Media Centre and
| gives you access to a vast range of fan-programmed add-ons.

Linux as a Media Centre

,----[ Quote ]
| As far as comparing Mythtv to Windows Media Centre, there is really
| no comparison, Mythtv is in a class of its own and puts WMC to shame
| in almost every department possible. This is the sort of application
| that could introduce Linux to many new users and households. Well done
| Isaac and the rest of the team, keep up the good work.

What about the other 487+ plus Linux distributions?
Why are those being ignored?
What if I like one of them?
Do I have to spend a month attempting to get MythTV working from scratch?
Doesn't seem fair.

I bet it would work "to a degree" for Liarnut!

Of course it would!
Why?
Because "Roy Schestowitz" says so.
