" I've ever admit TV you're gonna love it it's open source DVR software that is directly on top of clinics. As pretty much the same functionality as say your TiVo it has the ability to record NC -- program needs as great program data. And also has the ability to log into whether it's -- it shows you wanna record. Also the most important feature I think Kevin you hear me with this is well that. It's absolutely free right there's no monthly subscription the year anything like Alex and yet they're your providers exactly so now I'm gonna build this this whole -- bucks what sort of hardware we're gonna look at that you -- do with the software isn't cutter or harbor based in -- the Harvard -- like saved me trots. G 200. PE RT if you're at 350 it's actually gonna take a lot of the straight off the CPU and put it directly into the car and this is a good thing because as -- the requirements you can get away with machinists say. -- 3500 make her threat to Arctic six megs of ram. Versus -- you have to have a lot be your machine somewhere around a gigahertz per stream want to encode a nation does speaking a strange site we're talking about like you watch CSI and -- the -- time. You need that cue cards managers and you probably need it -- peculiar processor as well exactly like -- restrain and a half a battery should be getting ago. -- got a piece he put together this -- cost is about 300 dollars of parts it's got imports to motherboard and EMD Athlon XP 3200 plus in about a -- battery. For the capture card -- one from -- media this one runs about fifty bucks but most importantly it's compatible with video polemics definitely I'm most concerned about getting capturing content. So because that I found. -- We're talking about mpeg four encoded streams we're talking between 700 to two gigabytes of space for every one hour recorded video. -- We have the card now we need to install dispersion lyrics."

" Yeah I mean there's so many to choose from obviously you can use any differently you want is an easy compile yourself some -- a little easier than -- Debian has great packages where. I sodas fedora but we're using wanted that we believe is the absolute easiest for -- it -- not me. It's kind of like not expert Yeltsin would below us exactly it's based on the topic but rather than putting your into the OS actually -- to the installation and you analysts thought right in your hard drive and what was our options we patents are so we have -- of options to choose from once -- the system the first being setting up the box as a front end computers. And what that means it's gonna turn this machine -- a client actually connects to another -- server pulls down all the programs actually you're able to -- machine that's okay so we're not -- is that -- because we need -- to begin with -- go down to option number two -- auto install. -- And it's gonna take -- the next thing is the times and it thinking now normally a has opted to skip -- really cast by the time let them. It's actually very important that your times that correctly because you don't program that information won't sync up. With the -- avenue machine that is they're recording the wrong shows the run times you want that happen. So after you set it -- ahead in. And now it takes into the screen is are you sure you really want to install. Now this is very important because you don't want to happen any other data on your hard grad that you might want any of the partition right it's completely destructive so anything done is done right -- right everything's a major at the brand new blank hard drive. Which is yes here. And he inner ask us for holding -- or -- opening here you know stand instantly Kevin Rose to -- next. Username and relax uses a shortened versions that obviously we'll put cameras. Password will go ahead. And it. Our house where is that -- yes is a standard user -- and here is the -- is no known as the root password -- will use something a little bit more complex. And -- that's. -- Are you see one of those parameters -- yes and -- warning us one more time last year really want to install -- make sure you have a brand new blink hard drive of course she's yesteryear so there does installations beginning and we'll just let that in Asia. So after reboot we've copy everything from from the just the hard drive now it's it's ready to go now it just need to go to the configuration yes only gonna hear it in -- root password is the first thing. And notes and asked about the kinds and again that's want to verify everything it's cracked as far as the time in go ahead in -- Now brings us -- that he should be broadcast now is not talking about actually broadcasting from this machine. But the ability to receive that it's a PIP address from it ACP's servers so we'll say yes of course we want this -- one IP address. And now it's gonna go -- start up are ethernet devices started up okay. And is gonna collecting IP address. Send us and ask us about the type of module that we want basically asking a process attack this point. And I 586 RI 66 computer we have an Athlon XP. 3200 plus so we're gonna go with the I 66 module two is number six here in the and she's okay. So the next options are for module functionality the first question being do you have an infrared remote control is referring to the capture card whether it has infrared capabilities and Atlantic and most people want want a remote control because it payments and -- television -- definitely. -- the next optional we're asking here is video card capable of XB and C -- stands for X video motion compensation in his -- that hurt Nvidia cards with that TV out coaxial as you know that nobody is options so we're gonna take either one and just go ahead -- Focus and are actually inside -- MythTV -- it's gonna ask this a couple of quick questions first being. Do you want to clear all of your capture card settings right it just depends if you're upgrading know you want to -- The cards things alone but in this case it's just it's a fresh install Leo. And -- it -- yes they make cards things. Go ahead inner and then now it's gonna ask -- we want to clear of the program did it and channel information again this is brand new repression clean install. So we'll say yes to -- my channel settings. There were here this is the means it TV configuration and does it well we've been through like four by different -- data that finally we're we're here we're -- yes okay let's go to the general settings right here and that can figure some stuff the first. Here's here's IP address from it TV don't get freaked out here because it's not like real world external IP address this is actually your internal IP address the back end server 127 users -- one which is correct this morning at the local machine ticket payments keep -- the end of -- and other options for life TV -- you can just some of -- stuff. But the most important thing in this general set up as the channel frequencies table now our cable system here runs this cable HRC that you might want call your local cable provider and senior -- secondary from the isn't the -- right for myself -- US -- completely different so it just -- yet to solicit and -- correct. Go ahead and she's -- through next hear anything you want to the next menu which is capture cards person asked this is added you capture card so ahead hey inner. And there's several different passages from the hearings in the first thing is standard video for Lennox capture card which is what we have. You can choose the little drop down here and it's the ultimate cards that are available. There's the major exceed 200 like we talked about the PE RT fifty and 350 which is the mpeg two decoder cards. Also here's the that you like the PC HTTP. HD -- another option we want to -- that -- the firewire -- now this is chemical if you have a standard cable box has firewire out. You can do is go directly from that port into your -- your computer and use the input to capture that's that's it and it's really cool but sometimes in the -- actually get in the firewire port something well it wasn't working but it's actually because they haven't enabled yet but that is an option in case you Cuba provided as operate. So go ahead choose art card here which is this interview from next. -- all the things pretty much default and they go down to the finish and he in there in in the air card has been added it's. -- the next thing to do is set up our biggest sources this is pretty much remit TV goes out it pulls down all our program guide information. But go ahead in here in go to new media source and we're gonna set up a username and password in order pulled down this information right the first."

" In his -- head over to the the myth TV website and go through documentation they're gonna give you little registration code and which you did it take take a little bit of information to. Covert suit labs dot -- to a dot com and you put that has been allowed to bring down all those."

" Yes going to ask you for your zip code and in your cable provider it'll match up perfectly so you can get the right guide information. So go ahead put in our biggest source name here so this -- does that too it's. And then she's our user idea which is SY ST EMO five. Are password which is myth box. And the Nazis retrieve Linus that's connecting to -- to it and -- right now it's pulled out wearing Comcast cable and nines -- as the sixties because I was artist and a for the website. The last thing you really have to be sure to do is -- your channel frequency table and set this to match what we talked about earlier. Ours is US cable HR -- make sure this is say correctly otherwise it's not gonna work. So go ahead use finish in the near -- with missile site. It's just. Aren't that Alaska is the input connections this is really easy to set -- is gonna end. Choose the television here for -- if relaxed device -- In the -- go down to our video source which is apt to which it just happened exactly so they're gonna match what she's finished at the bottom. And now we are all set up now want to -- this mean configuration menu all you have this -- instantly to the mean MythTV -- person you're gonna see is watch TV have you captured president properly Alia is in there and take you right black television. You can change channels by hitting -- up and down arrows or want to -- like you can is that the back area and -- act when it's already coming cash for. There's other options to like manager recordings is the regal and in actually can schedule recordings from here he cancers by keywords you by the name of the program you're looking for. Or you can is going your program guide here -- scroll through the different listings here and choose which programs you want to record what are the other things that is you have to do this through. Didn't use any browser you can do this over the Internet yet."

" It is in this active web service built right in two minutes so -- this type in the IP address it'll come right up achieves much the same thing you can't hear you speak the programs that you want to record. There's other features got to remember this is like a full blown computer here that at a lot of other really cool features. To the system the ability to play games -- in the media library area is really nice thing is -- get all emulator -- your favorite games on there is an image out as he decides that's always cool policy watch your videos and watch recordings from or listen to music. The what are things I really like is the information says this is some little -- that I really like that news -- RSS -- your favorite in order to turn your computer morning he's going to -- spots that you favor RSS feeds built -- the many web browser says that status and also. I really like the -- you can define exactly where he -- a -- to the weather channel pulled -- all the information and display graphics before -- which is pretty cool. Edit the problem I -- and TV that you end of that he's in your living room which most people don't necessarily want as -- small solution. -- you want to get that you're living room when evidence of a little bit smaller you can always go with the Mac mini they actually have front end software that runs right on top Palestinian he installed on the Mac and anything you can take your meeting its server throw that closet and over the network it'll transfer that is to the Mac me.
