More from Brad -- Turns out that Brad is also a MythTV contributor (which I think I'd known from the mailing list...)" he's written TVWish, which looks like a pretty cool tool for major couch potatos... like my sister. :-) --Baylink 21:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
MythTV Field Report -- Brad Templeton (who is, ironically, one of the Internet's copyright mavens, so clearly if he thinks MythTV is ok... :-) writes about watching last years Super Bowl commercials on his HDTV MythBox. We did that too. It's fun. Makes it easier to blog them, too. He goes into some detail on exactly how the government, at the behest of Hollywood, is trying to make it illegal to build or use a MythBox (and more importantly, to manufacture usable tuner cards). --Baylink 16:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Broadcast Flag -- Editor Jon Corbet over at Linux Weekly News has some more depth on the latest round of Broadcast Flag work in Congress, and how it might make building a MythBox illegal. (Subscriber courtesy link by Baylink.) --Baylink 01:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
HDTV Capture -- Courtesy of Matt Haughey (of MetaFilter fame)'s PVRBlog, we find a link to Thomas Hawk's story on upcoming CableCard-equipped HDTV capture cards. It's interesting that this is going on in light of all the Broadcast flag nonsense, but that's Follywood for you... (Reading the comments clarifies things a bit; this is probably not A Good Thing.) --Baylink 23:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
PRESS -- Engadget reports on how to build a "practical HTPC," using MythTV on Gentoo as the platform. Read the full article... --TylerDrake 03:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
FEATURE FREEZE -- Isaac announced on the development mailing list today that no further feature patches will be accepted into SVN for the 0.19 version, to be released shortly.
FLASH -- Here we go again with Broadcast Flag 2006. Hollywood, who own and operate your US Congressperson, are going to keep trying and trying to deprive you of your Fair Use rights, until either they succeed, or each and every one of you out there makes a believable, convincing argument to your elected representatives that they'd better not. You can find out how to contact them at [1]. --Baylink 18:01, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
TECH: VEIL -- Ed Felten, in his Freedom to Tinker weblog, has delved into how VEIL and other suggested technologies to "close the Analog Hole" actually work. (Courtesy LWN.) --Baylink 19:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Site Moved -- Well, thanks to Isaac and all the members of the Site Move team, it looks like we're finally in our new digs. If you modified anything on the old wiki in November or December, and we haven't gotten to moving it over here yet, please do. Welcome aboard, and watch the Community Portal for more. --Baylink 00:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
