| Ahmuck | hi. mythbuntu has a page not found error. mythbuntu dead? | 17:19 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: which page? | 17:19 |
| Ahmuck | http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/installation-guide | 17:19 |
| Ahmuck | we'd like to drop our cable service | 17:20 |
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: where did that link from? | 17:20 |
| Ahmuck | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/External_Links#MythTV_Install_Guides_.2F_Distros | 17:20 |
| Ahmuck | http://www.mythtv.org/download | 17:20 |
| Ahmuck | i'm really good at finding broken things | 17:21 |
| Ahmuck | and *buntu hates me for it | 17:21 |
| Ahmuck | (i think) | 17:21 |
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: yea that doesn't exist anymore. Have you looked at the quick start guide from the topic | 17:22 |
| Kwisher | mythbuntu project is not dead, correct? | 17:23 |
| tgm4883 | correct | 17:24 |
| tgm4883 | why do you think it might be dead | 17:24 |
| Ahmuck | because of the broken link | 17:24 |
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: one broken link? You must think lots of sites are dead then | 17:25 |
| Ahmuck | so i have some questions about mythbuntu. it's a distro i can put a cd in, install, and be running with? | 17:25 |
| Ahmuck | tgm4883: i do | 17:25 |
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: correct | 17:25 |
| Ahmuck | we have a tv that is coaxal only. does mythtv require special tv card? | 17:25 |
| tgm4883 | Ahmuck: you might want to instead rethink that analysis. A broken link doesn't mean a site is dead. That isn't even true 50% of the time | 17:26 |
| Ahmuck | tgm4883: yes, i know. i'm glad mythtv and mythbuntu is fixing the broken link. i won't be confused any longer | 17:27 |
| tgm4883 | if your tv only has coax in, then you would need a way to get coax out from your computer | 17:28 |
| tgm4883 | IDK of any ways to do that currently | 17:29 |
| Shadow__X | if you only have coax in, no rca,no hdmi etc you might want to just get another tv | 17:48 |
| Ahmuck | my parents like the large coax tv. signal can be converted to coax using a converter box | 17:56 |
| Ahmuck | i think i am going to convert an older laptop and then do hdmi to converter box to coax | 17:56 |
| Ahmuck | mythtv over cat5? for several tvs | 17:56 |
| Ahmuck | battery about to die | 17:57 |
| tgm4883 | that....sounds.... horrible | 18:08 |
| Shadow__X | that sounds like a great way to waste time and aggravate oneself | 19:00 |
| Shadow__X | hey tgm4883 | 19:00 |
| tgm4883 | Shadow__X: exactly. Mythtv is a hobby, and hobbies aren't cheap | 19:01 |
| Shadow__X | that they are not | 19:02 |
| Shadow__X | i will say if you get createive you can have a system that lasts a while and is still better than the dvr cable providers give you though | 19:03 |
| Shadow__X | i think an i3 backend with 2tb of storage could last many years for somepeople | 19:03 |
| tgm4883 | Shadow__X: yep. My backend is approaching a decade old. Q6600 CPU and 4gb ram | 19:06 |
| tgm4883 | Mythtv being client/server really helps | 19:06 |
| Shadow__X | core 2 duo e8400 with 4gb of ram here | 19:07 |
| Shadow__X | :D | 19:07 |
| Shadow__X | that machine is past due for an upgrade though | 19:07 |
| Patrickdk | heh, my frontends are e8500's with 2gigs ram | 21:38 |
| Patrickdk | backend is a amd t1090 with 16gigs ram | 21:38 |
