[mythtv-users] Anybody using 0.24 on a (1st generation) AppleTV or anyone on Mac OS 10.4?

[Ben Eisemann]

MacNean,

Are you running the 0.24 frontend on top of the AppleTV OS or on Linux?

I've got Mythbuntu running with 0.24 on the AppleTV hardware and it works
pretty well.  I only record SD content anyways (was given a 1080i HDTV CRT
over the weekend, we'll have to see how that works).

If your still running AppleTV OS did you use a pre-compiled binary or did
you compile it yourself?

I would very much like to run 0.24 frontend on top of the AppleTV OS...  at
least too see.

Not sure about the Crystal HD chip... I'd like to try that.  I think from
what I saw you'd need to run linux instead of mac os frontend to take
advantage of it though.


God Bless,
