  1. Tuuppasin TV-kortin vanhaan tietokoneeseen ja tein siitä mediapalvelimen MythTV-ohjelmistolla ☺️

    Käyttiksenä Kubuntu.

  12. is anyone here in the UK still using #MythTV?
    my ancient server went bang, and I'm trying to rebuild, but finding a compatible dbv-t solution seems really hard.

    all my old cards are incompatible with my new motherboard.

    MythTV wiki page on compatible hardware looks … kind of abandoned?

  17. I don't know if it's #Debian 11, or my hardware, or because my house is under a wicked spell, but if I switch my "tv" away from my "tv server" it now disables that display and doesn't enable it if you switch back. nothing less than a reboot seems to do that.

    Still don't have anything like a working #mythtv. after all that work – debian 11, latest mythtv – it's the same. so I suppose a cap must have popped on the motherboard or something; that's all I have left (unless wicked spell, which…)

  22. #HiveMind:

    I'm looking for suggestions for a #USB #infrared receiver compatible with #LIRC. Everything I can find seems to be a big clunky box on the end of a long cable, but I'm looking for something tiny with the sort of form-factor of the bluetooth dongle in this picture (but obviously IR rather than BT!)

    Any recommendations gratefully received! Thank you!

    #MythTV status

    Although I now see someone has done a somewhat better Pi-Hole extension now, so maybe use that? Imma have to up my game.

  41. @davidnjoku In the US, broadcast TV is quite good. There are almost no commercial interruptions anymore and the ads that run between shows are typically just advertising the shows themselves, not the annoying ads from big corps like Pepsi.

    So #mythTV is the champ. Not sure how the counts in your poll because it effectively converts linear to on-demand, though of course the selections they decide to run is limited.

    When in Europe, I don’t even have a TV nor have I setup any kind of TV feed to the PC. It would probably not have much English programming anyway, so I would probably need a dish if I were motivated.

  46. Well that was relatively painless: a hard drive went down with no warning) in my #MythTV PVR early afternoon. Fortunately, it's mirrored with RAID *and* I happened to have a new spare in my cupboard.

    Only grief really (apart from getting it down from where it lives in the spare loo [don't ask]) was that it had turned off the degraded raid arrays instead of just … letting them run degraded, which was new to me, and caused much head scratching before I found out how to turn them back on.

  49. @soc_i_ety @Free_Press Broadcast TV has improved quite a bit lately along with broadcast radio. I suspect the need to compete w/online options has forced them to cut back on commercial ads. So I run #mythTV (a #FOSS DVR) which records broadcast TV. Commercials tend to only run after a show ends w/out interrupting the program. And if they decide to inject mid-program commercials, mythTV can detect & remove
