MythTV Links Up with Program Guide Provider

Posted by timothy on from the what-you're-going-to-watch dept.

Neil Campbell writes "As a long-time MythTV user, I found this announcement to be quite a surprise. A company by the name of TechnoVera has partnered with the founders of MythTV on an interesting project: A pay service for electronic program guide information rivaling that of Microsoft's Media Center. No more Zap2It surveys to continue using their free albeit basic service. The most important part of this is the fact that revenues from the service will be used to fund Open Source development; most notably MythTV. Registered Users will even have the opportunity to vote on feature enhancements that they would like to be incorporated into MythTV. I'm sure there will be some initial trepidation from the Linux community, but overall I think this should be considered progress. More attention and money for MythTV will result in a better product."

    Since my mind is numb from working my ass off today, this is all I could muster.

    Although, when my ebay purchased Canadian hacked ReplayTV kicks the bucket and I'm forced to build a MythBox, maybe I'll have something more intelligent to say.

    Yo Aaron!
    You should post in your blog more often, I enjoyed reading the tab posts back in March, but you've been quiet lately... VS keeping you busy?
