INSTALL EXTRA PLUGIN IN MYTHTV

MythTV has a number of capabilities. The television portion allows you to do the following:

·         Users may pause, fast-forward and rewind live Television.

•       Users may install multiple video capture cards to record more than one program at a time.
•       Users can have multiple servers (called "backends"), each with multiple capture cards in them. All scheduling is performed by the Master backend, which arbitrates which recording will be performed by each device. All recording requests are managed by the Master backend, so you can schedule a recording from any client.
•       Users can have multiple clients (called "frontends" in MythTV parlance), each with a common view of all available programs. Any client can watch any program that was recorded by any of the servers, assuming that they have the hardware capabilities to view the content; a low-powered frontend will not be able to watch HDTV, for example. Clients can be diskless and controlled entirely by a remote control.
•     Users may use any combination of standard analog capture card, MPEG-2, MJPEG, DVB, HDTV, USB and firewire capture devices. With appropriate hardware, MythTV can control set top boxes, often found in digital cable and satellite TV systems.
•      UsersTV implements a UPNP server, so a UPNP client should automatically see content from your MythTV system.

Other modules in MythTV include:

•        MythArchive, a tool to create DVDs
•        MythBrowser, a web browser
•        MythGallery, a photo-viewing application
•        MythGame
•        MythMusic, a music playing / ripping application
•        MythNetVision, an internet video browser and viewer
•        MythNews, a RSS news grabber
•        MythVideo, DVD ripper and a media-viewer for content not created within MythTV
•        MythWeather
•     MythWeb, which allows you to control your MythTV system using a web browser. With MythWeb, you can schedule and delete recordings, change keybindings and more. With proper security, you may even schedule a program over the Internet and have it immediately acted on by the Master backend.
