Myth TV Revisited

I have all the goods to make this happen. I have tried in the past, but it was going to be far too difficult. Here are my objectives:

• Install Ubuntu on this old pc


• get a mythbox up and running with the pc controls




• eventually get extra remotes working (ie, the ati rc remote, and the nintendo wiimote with the available python driver




• Be able to record hdtv signal, through my cable box and over the air




• I believe I'm going to need multiple recievers


• I have a hauppage hd 5500, which up to this point has been a pain to work with (the kernel hadn't yet supported the driver naitivly.

I'll be documenting what my difficulties are, and possible remedies (whatever seemed to get it working). The tutorial I will be following is from the ubuntu help forums.

Eventually I want to stream over the internet, as well as to my cell phone.
