<p dir="ltr">MythTv may be an appliance to you, but to me it is an application that I use to watch LiveTV and record programming. When I am not watching LiveTv or recordings, I use a web browser to access Internet sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc., read email, play music, watch DVD's, and other such things that utilize audio.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have been a Windows user for many years and an Ubuntu addict since Windows Vista. I dual boot between Ubuntu and Windows 7, but I prefer to just run Ubuntu as long as I can do everything I can in Windows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When I first did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, I ran into issues trying to install MythTv 27. I was advised, by members of this forum, to do a clean install of Mythbuntu 14.04. I was told I could escape to the Desktop whenever I wanted to. I did so and had no problems with MythTv, however, configuring the Desktop the way I want has been more difficult.</p>
