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).

    I find it strange that Linus uses Windows Media Center instead of MythTV...

    But I guess that is to be expected as he is known to be a pragmatic person (see Linux GPL v3 debacle).

    Does that mean Sensenbrenner is a "Log Cabin Republican"?

    That's a good point mr. plover.
