One of the biggest turn offs people have when trying to build their own PVR is that things can get complicated quickly, especially if you use a Linux based software solution. Heck, even for the seasoned PVR builders amongst us, we know that configuring everything just right can be a huge hassle and time sink.Well if you have ever wanted to try and build your own MythTV box, you should really check out this great MythTV Ubuntu Installation Guide. This guide uses the latest release of Ubuntu (6.10 Edgy Eft) for the base system, and the tuner card of choice used is a Hauppauge Nova-T card, so most of the drivers are already built into Ubuntu.
The guide is split into several sections which makes it easier to follow, and it has quite a few screen shots which always makes things go smoother. Also make sure to check out part two of the guide which includes the steps involved with getting remotes, MythWeb and MythVideo all working.
Guides like these are always welcomed in the community, especially to those who are new to the subject. Part 1 of the guide can be found here, and part two can be found here.
