[mythtv-users] Ideal Setup

[Paul Smith]

>their system(s).  What mistake did you make when selecting hardware?

My main mistake was the TV Tuner cards I bought - I got Pinnacle PC TV Rage 
cards which have a tuner on which isn't supported by Linux. This might just 
be the PAL version, and possibly just some versions, but it was a problem.

Fortunately, it wasn't a major problem because they work fine in Windows, 
so I just did some swapping around and two BT878 cards out of a couple of 
my Windows PCs and put them in the Linux one, but for other people it might 
be a bigger problem.

The other mistake was listening to the people who say that Linux is easy to 
use nowadays.... :-)

Having said that, MythTV is great, it's a shame there's nothing like it for 
Windows so it doesn't take weeks to set up... (unless you're a Linux expert)
