[mythtv-users] MythDevice?

[Anil Gupte]

I am looking for something that is mass manufactured specifically to run Linux 
based PVR software, so the price can come down to say, $300 per machine and it 
looks good next to my DVD player and Audio system.  Then all of us can justify 
having a bunch of them - some to use, some to take apart, some to play with, 
some to bring them all in and in the darkness... never mind... :-)

Seriously, someday myth will be all growed up and it needs to have a stable, 
reliable platform on which people can run it - perhaps even pay for it.

What "couple of outfits" are selling such boxes now?

Thanx,
Anil Gupte

I'm not sure I understand your question. a "device that will run
MythTV" is a pretty good description of just about any PC on the
market today, "with some modifications" would describe installing a
capture card or two.

As for a "Linux based PVR", that would describe a TiVo pretty
accurately.

Do you mean you are looking for a pre-configured MythTV machine ??
There are a couple of outfits selling those. There has been some
discussion about the desirability of such marketing efforts, in
particular the DataDirect license which allows "personal use" of the
schedule information in the US has been discussed.
