[mythtv-users] HOWTO : Redhat 9.0 / WinTV-PVR-250

[Rob Case]

Greetings all,

    I have been contemplating a setup to achieve TiVO like functionality for 
quite sometime. Last year I bought a Avermedia card and attempted to achieve 
this in windows. I failed to say the least. I started to research TiVO. I 
didn't want to spend the money on something I know is possible with a PC. So 
I dropped the idea and just learned to live without. A few months ago I 
bought used Series 1 TiVO on ebay for $50. It is awesome! Getting shows off 
of it are somewhat of a hassle and paying the subscription fee isn't 
acceptable. I work in a geek environment and when Wired published the 
article about MythTV at least 10 people sent me the link. I went home and 
started working on replacing my TiVO. I am pretty comfortable with linux and 
have completed such tasks as running nearly all of my win32 games in Linux 
and setting up webservers, firewalls, and various other in-depth tasks. The 
one thing I have always done is avoided compiling and always opted for RPMs 
to save me!

MythTV instructions are lacking in some areas for some distributions. 
Specifically for RH9. I am not looking for an RPM solution but rather some 
detailed RH9 instructions. I know many of you have successfully got Myth 
running on RH9 and I would like to stay with RH9 if possible. Are there any 
resources for RH9 and Myth?

I don't want someone to hold my hand and I am not looking for a RPM quick 
fix. I would like to do this properly and learn something from it with 
documenation geared towards my OS.

Thank you,

Rob
