Build Your Own Linux PVR

Posted by timothy on from the 15-fps-could-be-improved dept.

linuxwrangler writes "A few weeks ago Russell Pavlicek, Infoworld's 'Open Source' columnist mentioned a personal linux video time-shifter (PVR) he built. In response to reader requests he has now posted a page describing the project." Escaping the monthly fees of TiVo is a good motivation -- and the total cost here isn't bad either.

    It's not really an AI problem... it's not a matter of outwitting Slashdot, it's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time.
    Meanwhile, we're getting some great suggestions in the First Post Journal. Thank you for your indulgence!

      Very nice. I like the occasional dropping of articles such as "the" and the omiting of some plurals. Gives it a nice, futuristic kinda feel.
