 the terms of the GNU GPL.
 MythTV project was
 started in April 2002 by
 Isaac Richards and the

What is MythTV?
 MythTV is a collection of software that provides
 digital video recording functionality e.g. PVR/DVR or
 simply a computerised VCR.
 Basic PVR functions are recording and playing back
 scheduled programs and allowing you to schedule

 MythTV has a plugin system that permits it to be
 extended by other programmers. Plugins currently
 exist for playing external video, viewing
 photos, listening to music files and much more!
