Upgraded MythTV
I successfully upgraded my Gentoo MythTV box from .18 to .19. The upgrade was very smooth. In the past, it was very difficult to build a myth box on Gentoo because of odd bugs with combinations of the nvidia driver, lirc, ivtv and the kernel. I really like that it records mpgs instead of nuvs. It no longer requires any extra scripts to convert them for playback on my computer. They moved around some of the menu items to more logial places and also did many nice upgrades to MythWeb. The dual tuner support got improved but I don’t care about that much yet since I only have 1 tuner.
Hopefully sometime in the next with in a month or 2, I will finally mod my Xbox to be a 2nd frontend. I think I have decided on doing a hardware mod so I can still play all my old games. I still have a lot of research to do on deciding on a chip but I has seen some nice guides out there. If anyone can recommend one please post info about it in the comments.
