For those of you that have heard of MythTv you know it is a free open source DVR software package. We love Free over @ AtA so we bring you this release for your perusal. You can not only achieve TiVo like DVR functionality it gives you so much more like an on screen RSS reader, access to your recorded content and much more. If you want to take control of your DVR and make it into a power house of linux goodness check out MythTv. Powerful + free + open source = Stupid Phat ( that is a g00d thing )
The Program was pretty great last we looked at it and now there are lots of improvements such as:
- Faster startup of mythfrontend and mythtv-setup from changes to theme prescaling.
- Improved default theme images with better scaling and anti-aliasing
- Backported XMLTV changes to help former Zap2It users switch to a new grabber
- Improved --version output, including the branch name.
- Entire UPnP stack from trunk backported to address numerous UPnP problems
And if none of that perks up those ears of yours how about no monthly charges for the TiVo guide or no more depending on your cable companies service for their dvr? If you never heard of it check it out and if you are using it - Let us know in the comments!
