Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade.

  Building MythTV was somewhat challenging. It has lots of dependencies but they're spelled out on the website. This is one of those times where Debian is a good and bad thing. Good because it's so easy to find and install software, bad because many people expect files to be where Red Hat puts them and Debian often puts them somewhere else.

On the other hand, why build when you can apt-get? http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/debian/dists/unstable/mythtv/
