Planned Services

Progress

Outcomes:

  • All digital channels can be tuned and copied to disk
  • Web interface to control when to record something
  • Web interface for downloading recorded shows

Next Actions:

  • Find out some way of getting mplayer to use a global channels.conf
  • Getting Gentoo to boot without a Live CD
  • Making a backup of the settings in case something gets horribly messed up

Current Hurdles:

  • The card works, but the configurations is touchy.
  • Ubuntu did nasty things when it was upgraded, preventing gentoo from booting (except from a Live CD).
