From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Via online websites or via TV capture card?
Ah, I see what you're asking now.
I have a Hauppauge TV dual-tuner card for terrestrial TV.
Dual tuner so we can watch one thing whilst recording something else, or record 2 things at once.
Myth picks up the card and also uses that for the schedule guide, so we can just set up the scheduler with a TV series or some key-words and leave it to it.
We've not watched live TV for ages and it's weird sitting through adverts now when we're at friends / family
We also have GBs of films and music on the same machine, so it's our central AV device. The Audio is sync'd off to other devices from here rather than having a 2nd NAS for it.
I had a 2nd MythTv frontend on another box in another room for a while and that worked well too.
I've not had a TV for like 10 years, just using youtube and torrents, but this seems interesting for an idea... I wonder where my aerial connection port is...
