[sclug] OT: Dr Who

[John Stumbles]

Not just OT but sad too, one way or another. Our DVD recorder decided 
that the disk on which I'd recorded about 1 hour's worth of material at 
EP was full -- in the middle of Dr Who: aargh! (Older readers will 
remember Tony Hancock's unfinished whodunnit: now I know the feeling!) 
Does anyone have a recording of it I could blag, borrow or steal? 
(Reading area).

ObLinux: MythTV seems like the right way to go but the doc page's 
"Initially, installation of MythTV seems like a huge task" isn't 
followed by the half-expected reassurance that really it's not. Having 
tried to install the DVD authoring tools and come unstuck on some 
components that wouldn't compile (that project's still swapped out 
pending more Tuits) I suspect it could take you into fairly deep guru 
territory to make it all work.

ISTR hearing somewhere (here?) of a more-or-less out of the box MythTV + 
distro (Ubuntu?) package but can't find any reference on the MythTV or 
Ubuntu sites or from a quick google.

WRT a previous thread, maybe a working MythTV box (if such a beast is 
not a, er, myth) would be an interest at a woo-the-windoze-weenies day?

cheers
