<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>2.)Do you have to have the cable box / satelite
reciever set up, turned on and tuned to that channel that you wish to
record, like a timed VCR or not? </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>3) I seem to be confused as to which operating
system is preferred to be used. I think I saw Debian but it was
unstable? I don't know linux yet, but I am willing to give it a try to
make this all work. </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>3b)Is there an updated requirements page?
Shopping list?? I am willing to spend some (not a ton) money to get the
proper(prefered-by most ) video card (and min processor, memory, HD) for the
mythtv to work. It seems like it would be just as expensive or cheaper
than paying for tivo to build one myself.</span></font></p>

determine the number of channels, but I doubt there are many that go above 125.
It is really irrelevant thought because in response to #2 yes you will have to
treat it like a timed VCR. The channels are coming over encrypted and the
cable/sat box has to decrypt them, so you tune the cable box to the channel and
send the decrypted stream to the MythTV box.</span></font></p>
