Mythtv is one of the open source
software that integrated with the Ubuntu 12.04. MythTV is a Free Open Source
software digital video recorder (DVR) project distributed under the terms of
the GNU GPL. It has been under heavy development since 2002, and now contains
most features one would expect from a good DVR
Alternatively, you users install by hand:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mythtv
Either way, it will take a few
minutes to download and install. Recently, there have been a number of
improvements to the installation process. It now pops up a few dialogues: It
will ask you "Will other computers run MythTV?". If you answer
"Yes" to this then you will be able to use other machines such as
laptops to act as Myth Frontends. You will also be able to access recordings
and other media using UPnP devices such as smartphones and PS3s. The
installation process will generated a password for your user to log into the
MySQL database. See the file /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt. You won't need this yet,
but it's worth bearing in mind.MythTV is a GPL licensed suite of programs that
allow you to build the mythical home media convergence box on your own using
Open Source software and operating systems. MythTV is known to work on Linux
and Mac OS X (PowerPC and Intel). It does not run on Windows.
