After completing my Linux based TiVo in about 2 weeks I decided to write
a short discription on how I did it. This seems silly with all the major
projects on the 'Net with this topic, but doing it myself I realised that
not one project covered all aspects of building a Linux TiVo to the extend
that is required. This document details the hard- and software used and the
configuration of it. It contains screenshots of the running system.
It also has a final chapter with open endings; problems
I have not been able to solve yet.
Hardware and software used
Hardware
Asus CUSL mainboard
Intel Celeron 900 Mhz
128 MB ram
Intel? ethernet card
20GB+30GB Maxtor HDD
Asus 6600 Ultra GeForce 256 with TV-IN/OUT
Hauppauge PVR250
Soundblaster Live Value (SB0100)
The hardware used for this project was used as a MS-Windows media
server for 2 years and I decided it was time to convert it to linux.
