[mythtv-users] D-VHS ???

[sschaefer1 at woh.rr.com]

I asked something like this not too long ago. The answer is no MythTV does not work with it. Linux however, there is a project called DDR1394 which may work, but you'll need a supported firewire port in the Linux system. I haven't tried it, but there are sites about the software (and related projects) and which firewire chipsets are supported/favored. My understanding is that DDR1394 allows the Linux box to behave as a D-VHS drive from the tuner boxes perspective.
