Chris,

What you are looking to do with MythTV is exactly the solution he should
be targeting.

 

You might also at the same time want to incorporate an www.asterisk.org
<http://www.asterisk.org/>  system in as well (I'm assuming he has
bandwidth to burn out of Russia), if you are not familiar with asterisk
then check out http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/asterisk.html


 

Also if you really have money to burn, maybe a distributed version of
www.plutohome.com <http://www.plutohome.com/>  (or www.plutohome.org
<http://www.plutohome.org/>  if you want to do it on the cheap).

 


Regards,

Dean Collins

I have been asked by my boss to find him an entertainment solution. He
is American but lives in Moscow. The thing he misses most is being able
to watch american tv programs and football. He is happy to time-shift
the programming, to mark it for recording and then watch it a day or two
later.
The solution I envisage would be to have a Myth TV server at this
mothers house in the US, connected to and controlling a DirecTV system
and tuning Cable TV.  He would have another system at this house in
Moscow that would rsync the content from the US and he could play it
back at his leisure. He would access the recording server via the web to
schedule recordings. Is this possible? Can the content be shared like
this or is there a better way?
