I have tried Myth TV and it keeps changing my screen resolution, and taking over the entire computer screen. I don't want to dedicate the computer to be a PVR/DVR. I also couldn't get it to watch Live TV from a window on the computer when running Myth TV. Unless I have something missconfigured. I couldn't see half of the menu on the LCD monitor that I would be viewing the TV programs on. I have run the MythTV setup and followed the instuctions listed in the sites listed above. I did find a record-tv.sh script that accesses file from xwatv but it errors out with: no way to get: 320x240 MJPEG (AVI) Oops: fifo is 1 (expected 0) [common/fifo.c:fifo_check:139] I would like to view the TV programs on the computer, or another computer connected on the network. I would like to record the files to copy to another computer or play them on the computer it was recorded on. -- Terry Snyder Jr
