[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <Ahmuck> i'm really good at finding broken things
[17:21] <Ahmuck> and  *buntu hates me for it
[17:21] <Ahmuck> (i think)
[17:22] <tgm4883> Ahmuck: yea that doesn't exist anymore. Have you looked at the quick start guide from the topic
[17:23] <Kwisher> mythbuntu project is not dead, correct?
[17:24] <tgm4883> correct
[17:24] <tgm4883> why do you think it might be dead
[17:24] <Ahmuck> because of the broken link
[17:25] <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?
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <Ahmuck> tgm4883: yes, i know.  i'm glad mythtv and mythbuntu is fixing the broken link.  i won't be confused any longer
[17:28] <tgm4883> if your tv only has coax in, then you would need a way to get coax out from your computer
[17:29] <tgm4883> IDK of any ways to do that currently
[17:48] <Shadow__X> if you only have coax in, no rca,no hdmi etc you might want to just get another tv
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <Ahmuck> battery about to die
[18:08] <tgm4883> that....sounds.... horrible
[19:00] <Shadow__X> that sounds like a great way to waste time and aggravate oneself
[19:00] <Shadow__X> hey tgm4883
[19:01] <tgm4883> Shadow__X: exactly. Mythtv is a hobby, and hobbies aren't cheap
[19:02] <Shadow__X> that they are not
[19:03] <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
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <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
[21:38] <Patrickdk> heh, my frontends are e8500's with 2gigs ram
[21:38] <Patrickdk> backend is a amd t1090 with 16gigs ram
