[mythtv-users] Why did you pick MythTV VS the other PVRs?

[Richard Morton]

Hi there pat

I noticed you're specific mention of n800 and android trancoding. I have the
exact same equipment maybe you'd write up your setup for transcoding to
theswe devices, I am always interested in looking for improved methods of
setting off transcodes and copies to other devices.???

Much appreciated

Please excuse brevity and mistakes, this email was composed on a mobile
phone.

Thanks and regards,

I chose MythTV for the following reasons:

Freedom. Free to use the device as I want to. Not being restricted on how
to watch my recordings. If I want to re-encode my recordings to watch on
my Nokia N800 or Android phone I can.

Choice and upgradability. Being able to pick and choose what hardware to
use. Add new hardware as my needs changes (capture cards, hard drives)

Flexibility. Add more frontends as I need them. For a long time I used a
Hauppauge MediaMVP box. I recently built a Zotac Ion box and absolutely
love it.

Community. As with most F/OSS projects the community around MythTV is great.
