[mythtv-users] Is Upgrading to SVN Worth The Trouble?

Building Myth from source (on a PC at least) isn't very hard. I don't
suspect I'm going to run into any problems compiling on the X-Box, but if I
have the time then yeah, I'll write a WiKi entry

USA. We don't get fancy-pants toys like DVB-T. At the moment, all my  
inputs are analog. All one of them.

Theoretically, I could on my back-end, but given that it's a measly  
Celeron 600, I don't think so.

Again, no fancy toys like that in the USA.

So, the most I'd get out of it would be these "mini-features"? I'm  
just wondering, are any of them worth building from scratch? The XBox  
has practically no GPU support (not in Linux, at least), so OpenGL  
features would be mostly lost on me (unfortunately).

Maybe you should throw your instructions up on the Wiki. Stuff like  
"how to build MythTV for an XBox" would be useful stuff! Just select  
your distro, and follow the instructions.
