Can I use MythTV and a 2TB NAS with Comcast?
Hi all, great forum here.
I think I can pull this off with one relatively inexpensive machine, while using my 2TB NAS for most of the storage..
basically it's just a media server (would mythTV work?). I have Comcast here in Minneapolis, so i'm not sure about the encrypted frequencies and what not.
Comcast's DVR is garbage, and I think i can do better. Also might as well make it an all in one server for my music as well.
My goal is to be able to do the following:
1. archive old VHS tapes to digital format
2. record Comcast media and store on NAS
3. stream recorded media from NAS
so here's a scenario - record something really cool on live TV in HD, then immediately have the ability to edit that data from my laptop and post it on youtube or something.
Kind of confused about what hardware I would need to purchase, as well as how to go about making optimal A/V connections.
also really need to convert old analog VHS to digital - that bit rot is going to start taking its toll.
thanks guys!
