MythTV Allows Multiple Front-Ends On Wide Range of Platforms

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the how-long-till-the-big-guys-realize-drm-isn't-the-answer dept.

As the DVR becomes a much more pervasive performer in home theater setups, the level of excellence demanded by the general consumer seems to continue to rise. The open source project MythTV has been in this arena for quite a while, and now offers the ability to have multiple front-ends on your MythTV install on a wide range of different platforms. Able to run on Windows XP, Vista, Xbox, and even an Apple iPod, the new flexibility is sure to interest many consumers (and many competitors).

    Yup, that's gotta be it. Those MythTV tycoons may be giving it away for free; but by god do they ever clean up on volume! If we ignore distribution costs, the extra adwords income from the traffic boost might keep the devs in hookers and blow for 30, maybe 40, seconds!
