I know. Making channel-scanning a separate text-mode |
8 |
application similar to mythfilldatabase would solve that |
9 |
problem. The thing I find truly odd about MythTv is that is |
10 |
_is_ split up into frontend-UI-player and backend-server yet |
11 |
the backend is so distinctly ill-suited to be installed on a |
12 |
"server" type machine. |

|
14 |
This time around, I'm installing the backend on a normal |
15 |
"desktop" machine that's already going to have an X server, but |
16 |
it's probably going to be the only app that requires Qt3. |

I should try out Freevo some day. It's written in Python, so |
19 |
it should be more stable than MythTv. But, it doesn't support |
20 |
my tuner yet, and it doesn't appear to support a separate |
21 |
backend with multiple frontends. |
