MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing
An anonymous reader writes "A group of open source developers have been working behind the scenes to create a new service known as Schedules Direct to provide affordable scheduling data for North American users of MythTV. Today, they've announced an initial pricing plan of $15 for a 3 month block, non-recurring. Details are still fairly light at the moment, but there's a mailing list and a FAQ available on the site — one notable tidbit is that the developers 'expect pricing to drop by the end of the initial term. Our goal is $20/year.' This comes weeks before the planned shutdown of Zap2it Labs' Data Direct service mentioned previously."
Why on earth won't Linux developers create a script of some sort that analyzes the system and takes care of ALL dependencies? MythTV from its screenshots looks wonderful and fully capable...getting it installed and remaining sane afterwards is almost impossible at least in my opinion.
The other day, while installing an app from a tarball I failed at the make command. I then installed what make wanted but got some warning in the process. I did not give it much thought. It was just a warning. Then I got the shock of my life...my Joomla powered site "hanged" followed by the keyboard and mouse becoming unresponsive. On rebooting, I could not get into run level 3!
I am not so much of a Joe User after all all the versions I installed were >= to versions that were required for a trouble free system.
Guys, in the Linux world, we still have a long way to go. As mentioned above about MythTV, I'll try again next year.
That's FUCKING ridiculous to pay for free information. Who are these bastards and who the hell do they thing they are? Like I or anyone asshat is going to pay for shit like that.
