| RobinJ | Can anyone enlighten me a bit? What is Ubuntu TV? Is it a system that you can simply install on your laptop to stream television from the internet; Is it something that has to come preinstalled on a SmartTV (which I've never seen yet in my country); Is it something that you can install on a computer with a TV tuner card; ...? I don't really get the idea | 12:48 |
|---|---|---|
| L-----D | RobinJ, it is supposed to run on a SmartTV or SetBox, imo | 12:51 |
| RobinJ | in your opinion... what does that mean? can it run on all of those? | 12:51 |
| L-----D | RobinJ, the project is still at the begining stage, only some mockup Unity UI is released, so there is no hardware so far | 12:53 |
| RobinJ | lol | 12:53 |
| RobinJ | ok :p | 12:53 |
| RobinJ | i just wondered for what device it's made, as i've never seen a smarttv in my life :p | 12:53 |
| L-----D | SmartTV like Google TV | 12:54 |
| RobinJ | i dont know what that is either xD | 12:54 |
| RobinJ | as far as i know they're not generally sold in europe yet | 12:55 |
| L-----D | a SmartTV is just a TV shipped with arm/atom system, so you can run real system on it | 12:55 |
| L-----D | RobinJ, yeah, I blamed that for Google | 12:56 |
| RobinJ | lol | 12:56 |
| RobinJ | just one thing more... is ubuntu tv and ubuntu for android also developed by the community? or do those only get developed by canonical employees? | 13:02 |
| L-----D | I'm not sure about that | 13:05 |
| popey | RobinJ: hello! | 13:23 |
| RobinJ | hi | 13:24 |
| popey | Ubuntu TV is in the early stages of development | 13:24 |
| RobinJ | i've been told :p | 13:24 |
| popey | oh ok. | 13:25 |
| popey | any other questions? | 13:25 |
| RobinJ | nan not really :p no'one was able to answer my 2 questions :p | 13:25 |
| RobinJ | probably not general knowledge yet | 13:26 |
| popey | 13:02:57 < RobinJ> just one thing more... is ubuntu tv and ubuntu for android also developed by the community? or do those only get developed by canonical employees? | 13:26 |
| popey | that one? | 13:26 |
| popey | it was developed internally at canonical by developers who are part of the ubuntu community. there's not really a line between 'community' and 'canonical'. canonical people are part of the community too | 13:27 |
| popey | ☺ | 13:27 |
| RobinJ | ah xd | 13:27 |
| RobinJ | ok :p | 13:27 |
| RobinJ | and the other one? | 13:27 |
| RobinJ | <RobinJ> Can anyone enlighten me a bit? What is Ubuntu TV?

I don't really get the idea | 13:27 |
| popey | Ok. so the idea is that you would be able to go to a shop and buy a TV with Ubuntu TV pre-installed | 13:28 |
| RobinJ | hmm, so i probably wont see them in my country yet | 13:29 |
| popey | the code we've made so far is out there so potentially you could install it on a desktop pc, yeah | 13:29 |
| popey | what country? | 13:29 |
| RobinJ | belgium | 13:29 |
| RobinJ | i've never seen a smarttv, google tv, apple tv, ... here | 13:30 |
| RobinJ | just normal tv's | 13:30 |
| RobinJ | we've got digital tv though it's not generally used yet, and we need a seperate box for that | 13:30 |
| RobinJ | which we plug in to the tv | 13:30 |
