Is it possible/feasible to set up a KnoppMyth installation on something without a tuner card? Since nearly all users want PVR time shifting/TV recording, the documentation doesn't say whether this is possible. If so how one would go about disabling/removing the relevant menus on the front end?
All I really want to do is have it play back some anime and or music through my stereo and TV using a remote without having to change the cd/dvd all the time.
The victim is a Celeron 500mHz/128mb ram/6GB HDD with integrated NIC and only 2 free PCI slots (no AGP). The idea is to install a usb2/firewire card and something like the PCI Geforce4 mx4000 for TV-out (integrated card has monitor out only). The usb/firewire card would hopefully be usable to allow play back of content on a connected external drive / iPod.
I'm a computer engineering student with free time and would have no problem soldering up an LIRC serial interface. However I lack experience with KnoppMyth/MythTV and (to a lesser extent) Linux in general, although I have lots of help on the latter. I would welcome any advice people have on how to go about setting this up without lots of frustration and without blowing up my roommate’s TV
