Idealy MythTV should be able to capture the IPTV streams directly off your provider's network. My provider refuses to allow this though. They insist MythTV is not compatible with their system. I know this is not true though. I was able to capture the IPTV stream using MythTV. But I could not change the channel (I could only capture whatthe STB was displaying).<br clear="all">

<font style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br><br>I've just gotten an old PC that I've setup Ubuntu 8.04 and MythTV 0.20.<br>The PC is a 1.2 GHz machine with 500MB RAM and no capture card.<br>
I also have an Amino STB which I would like to be able to record from using MythTV.<br><br>What are my options in connecting the STB to the computer so that MythTV can do something with it?<br>Do I need to connect the STB and the MythTV machine to a router so they can communicate or should I just remove the ethernet cable from the STB and connect it straight to the PC?<br>
Do I need to get a capture card to receive video/audio from the STB through composite/S-Video?<br>I'm a complete noob at this but I'm fairly good with computers in general (a programmer.)<br><br>What I basically want to be able to do is turn on my MythTV box and have all the channels from the STB available from there, with recording capabilities.<br>
