I've been noticing that about 90% of what I watch comes from local channels that I think all have digital broadcasts. These would be the local PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox stations. It seems like a bad idea to pay $80/mo for DirecTV (HD) if I can get the HD on those stations for free over the airwaves and record the content to my computer (which is already connected by HDMI to the HDTV)<br><br>So I'm wondering if any of you are doing this -- can you get good signals over the airwaves with no antenna outside the home?<br><br>I'm also wondering about using the Ubuntu box as a DVR. Apparently there is this thing called MythTV, but I don't know much about it, yet. Is it possible to add DVR capability to an ordinary Ubuntu 10.10 installation?<br><br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________<br>TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br><a ymailto="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org"
