MythTv

Anyone have any experience?

I just set up a rasp pi 2 with osmc I can grab a bunch of archived programs etc...

but setting up live tv is proving difficult....

setting up the PVR.....

where is the backend? on the rasp pi?

They have great wikis and forums.... apparently I am just to dense (or old) LOL to get it...

The PI is just hardware.

There is no backend.

You need another source with a tuner card for live TV and I think you are saying that you have a MythTV box already set up?

I use OpenELEC (stripped XBMC for PI) as the front end on my PI's and Windows Media Center for the back end on the server.

OpenELEC is available as an image on the PI noob download.

So I need to get a TV card for my pc, and direct MythTV from the rasp pi to get content from that?

I set up something like this... and am trying to enable MythTV

OSMC is the latest iteration of Raspbmc...

I prefer OpenELEC, (AKA XBMC now KODI) to Raspbmc.

Nice thing about the builds is you can roll SD cards with different front ends and swap them out to figure what works best for you.

But yeah, you need a tuner card, something to receive the signal.

I'd look at the SiliconDust Homerun box or the Ceton external units.

You run them over USB instead of internal PCI slot.

I have a 4 stream Ceton PCI.

Works well considering most of the open source stuff like Myth and XBMC is well, open source.

You on Optimum or FIOS?

Get a cable card from them for ~$5.00 a month. Typically you'll get everything in your package except PPV's. Limitation of the cable card.

If you are going strictly OTA that's another story.

MythTV? Is that the same as Fox?

Yea finally figured that out..... trying to cut the cord...

Here on Lawn Guyland with a HD OTA antenna you can get almost 50 stations...

Apparently I just made a lil media server..

Will try and figure out how to get the most content available to it...

Oh yea.... Fios
