[mythtv-users] Re: WinMyth Help!

[Jack Trout]

Yes it is open source 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmyth/ << source code available
thats about how functional mine is, 

I generally use a linux myth frontend/backend which is still better by
far, but my wife doesnt wanna sit in the basement, and knoppmyth is
optomized for my cheap laptop and network card in my lan box isnt
compatable with the livecd of knoppmyth, so I am kinda SOL, thinking
of buying a cheap as I can find XboX and see how well xbox myth works
So my lan box goes upstairs with a lan cable and boom, recorded shows
are now available
