| − | Welcome to the information and documentation wiki for MythTV! We're here to provide a forum (though not a 'forum' :-) for collaborative documentation of the MythTV project, an open source software Personal Video Recorder. It lets you build a box similar to a TiVo or ReplayTV, but much more powerful - and easily modified.

While there are some late changes and new pages yet to move, this site is pretty much open for business now. There will still be lots of dust on the floor for the next little while, but if you haven't already set up an account, please [[Special:Userlogin|do so]], and forge ahead. If you've never worked on a wiki before, check out the [[Wiki Quick Start]].

| − | '''0.18 is nigh''' -- Isaac just engaged in the Monthly Patch Festival the other day, committing about 2 dozen patches from the outstanding queue. He said on the mailing list that 0.18 might happen in a couple of weeks, pending one or two critical stability patches. If you have patches on your shelf, let's get them in *now*, instead of waiting until he makes the announcement, like last time. 'k? [ [[User:Baylink]] 23-Mar-05] | |

| − | '''Plextor PVRs/Linux''' -- Slashdot [http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/09/004227&from=mythtv.info covers] the release of official Linux support for their new hardware MPEG-1/2/4/MJPEG external video capture compression/tuner box with USB 2.0 interface. I gather TPTB are working on integrating this with Myth; More When I Know More<tm>. [ [[User:Baylink]] 9-Mar-05]

| − | '''Press Coverage''' -- A fairly nice piece in the San Francisco Bay Guardian talks about [http://www.sfbg.com/39/22/cover_fcc.html the broadcast flag] and mentions MythTV. Thanks to Maverick on the mailing list. [ [[User:Baylink]] 3-Mar-05]

| − | '''New Release''' -- 0.17 is out. The [[Under Development]] page has been moved to [[Whats New]], and copied to [[0.17]] in the [[Release Notes]] section. Isaac has linked to [[Under Development]] from mythtv.org, so that will remain 0.17 until he changes the link. [ [[User:Baylink]] 11-Feb-05]

| − | '''MythBlog''' -- It has managed to escape me that [[Gavin Hurlbut]] (Beirdo@IRC) has his own [http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/wiki/ FAQ Wiki], covering topics frequently discussed on IRC, as well as writing a [http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/blog/ blog] concerning his experiences working with Myth. In other news, (I've always wanted to say that :-) Matt Haughey, of Metafilter fame, continues his [http://www.pvrblog.com/ PVRBlog] with coverage of a 10-tuner [[Snap Stream]] box built with the new Hauppauge 500 cards.

| − | '''User Manual''' -- I've added a link, above, to my nascent [[User Manual]] project. While it is even more a work in progress than some other things associated with the wiki, and indeed, Myth itself, I think it's just barely fleshed out to the point that it's time to link to it from somewhere more prominent than my User page. All contributions, as always, welcome. [[[Bay Link]] 09-Feb-2005]

| − | '''German Wiki''' -- I've felt free to create a german Wiki, since some users expressed the wish to have a German community. Please not that this Wiki doesn't intend to compete with MythTV.info. The site is [http://de-mythwiki.ath.cx/mediawiki/ here] . In addition, there is a now a German subforum at [http://www.mythtvtalk.com mythtvtalk.com]. [[[Michael Haas]]]

| − | '''Upcoming Hardware:''' -- [http://pchdtv.com pcHDTV] has finally started to offer the HD-3000, a US broadcast HDTV/ATSC capture card that is designed to work with Linux. Reports also state the card is already compatible with MythTV. In July of next year a card like this will be illegal to manufacture, as it does *not* support the [[Broadcast Flag]], which allows broadcasters to prevent you from digitally capturing HDTV signals at full resolution. So get them while you can. [UPDATE: Some people have received the cards they ordered; no reports of full success yet. [30-Oct-04]

| − | '''Competitive Press:''' -- Even more reasons to [http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/28/1423202 choose MythTV] over TiVo: they're going to feature-reduce even further.
