Topic: Watching TV and Linux

[sam]

This all started a couple of weeks ago when I finally got around to putting the tv capture card I had picked up a year or two ago into my computer. Happily like most things in Linux, it just worked, that was a great plus. Sadly the software packages in existence that I ran across were either too much or too little, nothing was just right.

"What I wanted was to be able to open up a window, tack it to the desktop in always on top mode, and leave it in the corner taking up some but not all of my screen real estate. I also wanted the ability to pause it, so that I could get up, grab a cup of coffee, hit the head, or what ever. Guess what, this falls into the "good luck with that" category of having had someone scratch that particular." coding itch.

Glad it's not just me who finds MythTV impenetrable!  I feel somewhat vindicated now .

That's a great link, Sam - If I hadn't already sold my soul to Micro$oft I would run with it.
