Re: Mythtv - bit the bullet

[Matt Evans <splat1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian, you can map myth to use a kbd and mouse, its detailed on the myth
wiki=
,
although many do prefer the lirc method.

Alex, I have a nova-s card and have it configured to dump the stream to the
cpu for decoding, allowing me to use it for BBCHD etc,
The EPG data on freesat is only now and next, the guide data is on another
transport and requires a lot of work to scrape it. Its easier to go the
XMLTV route from the radio times website (full 7 days).

I used this guide to get myself started,
