OK, I read about Linux MCE on downloadsquad (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/03/21/linux-mce-looks-hot/). A guy there made a good point about this. I'll C&P:
"So, there's no box. You'll need to put it together, but there is no list of approved hardware, so knowing which components (TV tuner card, telephone interface products for Asterisk, supported cellphones, remote controls, IR emitter to control your TV/video/stereo, home autmation control interface) will work well is going to be a trial-and-error process."
I know you guys don't develop mythtv and the other programs and stuff, but could you make a webpage of approved and working hardware with links to such pages from the developer's website? Perhaps a section in the wiki? So everything could be centralized? Something like: list of supported remotes, tv tuners, phones working out of the box (plug and play).
It would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
