MP1 MP2 Considering MythTV DE
Hi Lloydsmart - so, almost a year on, what was your decision in the end? I am very happy with MP, but I am also wondering about the leap into Linux based computing, only because I want to experiment with a system with multiple clients on it, and I don't want the expense of lots of XP or W7 licenses. I am also looking for the least...

You can stream TV to smart TV's fairly easily using Servio. It worked on our Sony and Samsung smart TV's, but it meant that you could only set up a single channel to stream and you had to change channel via the PC running Servio...

Since I am using the MP-plugin it is still possible that there any MP-related issues. Maybe after an SVN-Update my remote-mapping isn't working as it should. So please dont do too much work until I have really confirmed an issue. I just saw it on last few recordings and that was after the comskip-update. Maybe its related to something...

Yes. For example, if you have a single DVB-T card you can record one channel and while that channel is being recorded you are unable to timeshift. With dual DVB-T tuner card you can watch one channel / record another at the same time. See also hybrid cards if you are using analog, DVB-S, etc...

hi, well it depends on the game. Regarding emulators (through My Programs) most of them are safe to be closed that way, except for zsnes (directx) [perhaps only with me] and epsxe (opengl) [known & listed bug] which must be killed or properly shut down. However if brutally killed, minor glitches may subsequently appear (original...

Is it possible to recode the serialnumber on a CAM? I'm trying to get rid of my tuner, and run my DVB-T subscription on my HTPC. So far, I can get the free channels, but since the subscription/card is paired with the CAM in the tuner, it won't work on my pc.
