>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)
