One of my new year projects is going to be finally sorting out the home TV problem. Here are my basic requirements.
- Multiple TV’s, minimum paid Cable/Satellite decoders (I currently have 3 paid saturn decoders)
- Hard disk recording and playback from any TV
- On screen program guide (for NZ)
- Useable by wife
I think I need 2 decoders stored centrally, transmittinng over RF, with two radio controlled remotes to change the channels. The wife has a remote (saying working of RF5 and mine will be RF6). So we just tune to our station.
I’m looking currently at Media Centre, MythTV and MySky.
Any tips welcome, I’ll keep you posted as I progress. If anyone wants to do it as a paid project (based in Wellington) let me know.
