Me (Tom Fotherby) and my gf are setting up a freeview mythtv box running Ubuntu with backend and frontend together. You can find my email address at http://www.tomfotherby.com.
Our Hardware
- Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz.
- Motherboard: 8TX Pentium 4 processor motherboard (GA-8TX). Intel 850 chipset.
- RAM: 512MB.
- TV card: 1 x Hauppage Nova-T (Connexant chipset) DVB.
- Graphics card: 32MB NVidia GeForce2 MX 200 (64 bit bus) - TV out.
- Hard Disk: 60GB.
1st Attempt - Middle 2005
- Ubuntu Linux (Hoary Hedgehog), kernel 2.6.12 compiled from source.
- MythTV 0.18 (from apt-get)
It works in general, but we still need to learn about the following:
- Unjumbleing the channels and removing duplicates.
- Getting the program guide to correctly relate to channels and provide complete info.
- Getting the IR remote set up
- Getting TV-out working
2nd Attempt - Late 2005
- Ubuntu Linux (Breezy Badger), default Breezy kernel (2.6.12).
- MythTV 0.18 (from apt-get)
With Breezy the Nova-t card works out of the box. Horray, no re-compiling the kernel. However, we're having problems getting TV-Out to work now.
