MythTV .20 Released
MythTV, is a popular free (as in beer and speech) alternative to TiVo and other commercial DVRs.
- MythTV is a free / open source PVR application, with support for analog, digital, and HDTV recording in most international standards (i.e. it's usable in the U.S., Europe, Asia, etc.). It includes many features not available in commercial PVR products.
- Automatic commercial detection and removal, or manual skip forward/back.
- Transcode of video to other formats/resolutions -- including DVD export in 0.20.
- Network based structure, allowing 'backend' recording storage on different machine than the 'frontend' display. (i.e. stick the backend with all the cable connections, antennas, loud fans and tons of disk in the basement, put a small/quiet frontend near your TV for output.)
MythTV was just updated to version .20, adding some spiffy new features:
A new menu system, an improved internal DVD player, support for DVB radio channels, and mouse support. There is also a new plugin MythArchive which allows recordings be written to DVD
For non-propellerheads, MythTV is also available pre-built and configured from Monolith Media.
Ed. Note: This story incorrectly identified the update as "2.0" when it is, in fact, ".20." It has been corrected, and Suicide Girls regrets the error, as well as the editor's stupid dyslexia.
