HTPC Log
This is a log for my past and present MythTV and XBMC home theater PCs (HTPC). I was trying to remember all of the things I have tried and realized I have tried a lot and other people could probably benefit from my experiences (good and bad). So here we go…
If you would like to see which TV tuners I have used and my experiences with them head over to my tuner log.
I also have spoken at the Southern California Linux Expo about using Linux as a HTPC platform. The video has been taken down but the slides are available by clicking the screenshot below.
Click on the links below for each machine details. Here are the computers I have tried in order (current machine first).
