Hi !
Thanks to this forum i've just discovered that it's possible to install MythTV under gentoox !
Do you think that it is possible to turn an xbox into a PVR with MythTV ?
Usb tv tuner already exist in 1.1 usb, so i imagine that it provides enought performances to record video....So it should work on xbox.... ...Just have to buy an USB adapter and voila ! :
> Game port/USB adaptor
I've already plug my usb logitech keyboard + my usb mouse (MS optical mouse) with this adapter under gentoox (linux for xbox) without any problem !
> Win tv device
