Exploring MythTV and mediaMVP
Posted on 25 June 2010 by Abidoon
MythTV is an open source digital video recording package, similar to TiVo. First is a solid intro to what MythTV can do. After that, I … all » introduce the mediaMVP set top box and how it can be used to expand MythTV to every TV in the house for not to much doough-ray-me.
@kennelm Yes, but this video was created in 2006 when many of us didn’t care about HD. Plus it was under $100.
One downside is mediaMVP will not handle HD.
ive been using mythtv for a while but I had no idea about the mediaMVP, that is awesome
360 sucks
Why not use it on an xbox 360? I don’t see why you would, though.
But you can order pizza from tivos now so why would i want 2 use mythtv? jk
Thanks for the video! I just started my project with an unused PC I have.
There are a few thing I don’t understand yet about MythTV and MediaMVP working together. I’ll find that out.
one questions.
Mythbuntu will run in my old machine. I’ll need a frontend in another machine to be able to see the videos and pics, etc?
can the frontend be on Windows and or linux?
thank you in advance!
Hey PatWhyte, I know it’s been a while since you posted it, I just started my project and picked Mythbuntu as well.
I’d like to know if you managed to set your MythTV and how is your project going at this point!!
thanks in advance!
Who cares? He’s still HOT!
Dude … he’s a married man. with kids even.
thanks for the video, very informative.
You’re hot!
oh ty
im watching everybody loves raymond right now
you just need internet
do you need to hook up your reveiver to get tv to work?
do u have to ave a tv card for myth tv to work?
How about the MediaMVP-HD? That unit supports 1080p palyback of many file types. Will mythtv run on it? If it does then I am totally in!!!
Great. Thanks for getting me started and familiar with myth really quickly. You worked hard on this and it’s very clear.
who is we? O.o
yes, but you won’t be able to record tv with the modded xbox.
They have a wireless version that is 50 bucks more.
You can do this with an original xbox thats modded. Thats a lot cheaper and more flexible than the mvp.
I’m sorry to nit-pic, but Hauppauge is pronounced “ha-pog” (it’s Native American). It’s a town in New York (Long Island) where the company that makes those devices is located.
I’m not from there, I’m from Port Jeff Sta. but my dad use to work in Hauppauge
(at MetLife).
ROFL!
so to use mediaMVP’s you’ll need to run ethernet cable through out your house or is there someway to use a wireless router
