Well, please! Save me the homework!
Dealing with my 83 year old father's dementia cuts down on available
hours for homework. :/
What unit would be best performing with MythTV, with a 5.1 surround
(optical coupled to receiver) and HDMI output?
If anyone has suggestions for flat video to flat stereo, I'm all ears
too, if it's cheap. My father has a rather short list of titles he loves
to watch. It'd be nice to set up something for him where we don't have
to jump to change a disk.
Or simply click for a new title when he gets bored...
