MythTV Compared with Windows Media Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the apples-and-kumquats dept.

legoburner writes "Tom's Hardware has a nice comparison of MythTV and Windows Media Center Edition, and it seems that they preferred MythTV by quite a margin: 'Enter MythTV, a grand unification of personal digital video recording and home theatre technology, and a magnum opus of modular design, freedom of expression and personal entertainment.'"

  1. KnoppMyth is freaking awesome by thedbp · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have some experience with Linux ... I've played with Ubuntu, Red Hat, DreamLinux, and Freespire on my brother's PC, so I only ever get occassional exposure. I'm good with the OS X command line, but don't use it for day to day tasks usually. I'm familiar with apt-get and Synaptic and can usually work around dependency problems.

    however, getting MythTV running on my brother's box proved to be really, REALLY difficult.

    Enter KnoppMyth.

    20 minute install and 10 minutes to configure. And it all just worked. I'm sold.

    Plus, he can use his main machine, a Tiger-running Mac, as a front end as well. Its terriffic. Download it. NOW.
