[mythtv-users] Initial set-up: use TV or monitor for display?

[Iohan Reyes]

I recommend setting it up with a monitor first.  It will be hard to read
from a TV.  Also, when I tried installing using FC5 with my PC directly
connected to a TV, the installer GUI didn't even show up on the screen
(only the text-based portion showed, but not the graphical portion), not
until I edited the xorg.conf file (post-install) that I was able to see
an image on the TV, therefore, I needed a monitor anyway.

 

Hopefully my convoluted paragraph above helps....

I'm going to be building my first Myth box this week. It's going to be
hooked up to a standard-definition TV. During the set up phase, am I
better off hooking it up to a 17" monitor that can do higher resolution
or should I just hook it up to the TV right away? I'm worried that the
low resolution on the TV will make it difficult to see the whole screen
while installing FC5.
