[Opensource] MythTV stand at LinuxConf Open Day

[Cameron Bell]

I had it running on the R51 over the hols with a couple of movies 
installed as a trial. But I couldn't get it to recognise the TV capture 
card I had though. :-(    This is often a problem for Linux and having a 
company put together a box that is all compatible is very attractive.
I thought of doing the same thing and looking at replacing Clickview, 
but the cost of replacing the Clickview content was not trivial. But 
using it as a free2air recorder is looking good.
Cheers
Cameron
