Want control?
Build your own MythTV PC
You don′t do stuff like this to cut corners. You do it because you want what you want—and because it′s fun. And a personalized MythTV is so much more than a PVR. You can combine HDTV, DVD, all kinds of music, radio, photos, even a plug–in videophone module. All you need is a little Linux know–how, assorted software components and plug–ins, an adventurous nature, and this book to tell you how it all goes together. Voilà—the entertainment hub ofyour dreams.
