New MythTV Box

I just put together a new MythTV box with an Intel Core2 Duo E7200 processor and a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H. My build was based on one I found on another blog, and so far I am very pleased with the results. I used MythBuntu 8.04 for the OS, and despite the fairly minimal install MythBuntu provides, I have gotten everything working rather quickly. I intend to document a couple of the tweaks that I have to make in order to get everything working just right.

Here is a list of the additional packages that I have installed so far with apt-get:

  • unzip
  • nvidia-glx-new
  • nvidia-settings
  • sysvconfig (I like to use the Fedora/RH style 'service' script to stop and restart services)
  • hdhomerun-config
