Users / CISCO 7971G instead of 7970G?
« on: September 13, 2008, 08:57:40 pm »
Hi,

Was looking to get a 7970G or 7971G.  The only difference with the 7971G seems to be a faster network and higher resolution display according to the marketing blurb.  Would it still work with LinuxMCE?  If not, how could it be makde to work- big or small job?

Users / Can linuxmce connect to a normal mythtv backend?
« on: August 22, 2008, 03:30:01 am »
Hi,

I am just about to set a direction for my home automation/theatre system.

One option is to use a FitPC (5W, $300) as a mythtv backend, using a dual tuner USB dongle (Pinnacle 2001E).  I helped a friend set this up and it works v nicely.

Is it possible to have linuxmce use a normal mythtv backend, or does it have to be a linuxmce system.

I did some browsing of the wiki and these forums, but didn't see anything that answered the Q directly.

I suspect that the answer is "all must be linuxmce" in which case I will give up my low-power ambitions and build a bigger central server to house linuxmce.

Thanks!
