Boxee  does internet TV.. on demand TV.  I've been using it since Linux-alpha.  I'm not in love with it per-se but it works in an amazing fashion.  It brings me all of the shows I watch regularly on demand.  No PVR no recording.

The home security part of this system makes me want to use it not the PVR.  It's actually tough to give up Boxee.  Though it looks like this is the way to go, for home security without a lot of work.

Hey, I was looking for something exactly like this system but I have a couple of questions.

Will this work on Ubuntu 9.04?

We just moved into a new house and there have been a couple of reported break ins in the neighborhood and so I'm really interested in the security portions of this (it's what is driving me to do something with our basic home server).   But we do use the server for our media/storage/backup device connected to our TV.  So does LinuxMCE do webTV like Boxee?

Also I noticed mention that LinuxMCE runs a dhcp server.  Will I still be able to set that up as a NAT for my other machines on the network?..
