</div>If you are using the replacement tftpboot file it has a setup to directly access<br>
mythtv stuff (both the backend and the mysql database) and with that you can<br>
also schedule recordings, delete recordings, and there is a commercial skip<br>
option for the recordings.<br>

<br>Also, is it true that in order to have this thing tftp boot I must use dhcp with the backend or can I just have my dd-wrt be my dhcp router? <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
