I wish I had arrived earlier, since it seemed rather chaotic and hard to find
out who knew what. There seemed to be a small group around you with many
questions. I think it showed there is quite an interest in the topic and the
kinds of questions that people have.
I was surprised to hear the number of people who want to do this for 25
cents instead of spending the kind of money they would for a commercial
system. One chap mentioned he was having problems and wondered if it might be
his 25 year old coax cables and 'F' connectors. I come from a TV
broadcasting background and cheap don't work.
Perhaps next time it could be a more formal setting, rather than a general
install-fest, a one machine install eg. a how-to and then question and
answer period where all could learn. Maybe a mention of the hardware being
used. Perhaps at a NewTlug meeting, I think the IBM bldg swould be a good
spot, and hopefully we could organize some transportation for those without
cars.
Just seeing some of the screens and things one can do with MythTV was quite a
surprise. I am now more enthused about getting all the hardware together and
seeing if I can figure this out.
Finding your address was much harder than I had expected, that little corner
of the city was new to me. I wouldn't be surprised if some people just gave
up and didn't get there.
At any rate, thanks for your efforts and I am sure a number of us learned
something.
Regards
