[wellylug] Freevo or MythTV in Ubuntu 8.04

[Ray Smith]

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the response. Elisa looks interesting. Can you tell me if it has
PVR functions? I'm running a Nova-S Plus card and I would like to be able to
record video streams. That's the feature that led me to MythTV but I'm not
very fond of the interface. Freevo looks better, but I can't get it
installed. I believe the python file you refer to is the .py file to install
the Kaa-Metadata package. It keeps throwing an error and I don't have the
patience or time to try to fix it :)
Thanks again,
Ray
