Turn Your Sony PS3 into a MythTV PVR
After running Debian on PS3 it’s time to turn it into PVR. Here is a list of its additional components: MythTV and a Plextor ConvertX PX-TV402U, a pretty nifty little box that has a TV tuner, a variety of video inputs for handling cable and satellite broadcasts, and support for MPEG-1/2/4 and DivX compression. You’ll also need some Linux drivers for that PX-TV402U, and a couple of patches to help the driver work on the PS3.
Hoverer, I don’t see any practice reason to do this hack. Because if you want to make sure you never miss a recording, you have to keep your MythTV running all the time, meaning you can’t play PS3 games. It’d be much more sensible to create HTPC instead.
