Revision as of 01:51, 2 January 2015

SPECS: MUST HAVE

  • HDMI video out. TV does not have VGA input
  • Composite video input. Must accept a/v from satellite receiver.
  • WiFi networking
  • Linux supported hardware

CPU

Atom versus Celeron

Intel Atom vs Intel Celeron: similar performance. Atom is newer and uses less power. Conclusion: Atom over Celeron.

Composite Video Capture

MythTV pvrusb2 driver with an external usb capture device.

This guy had trouble getting capture from composite to work

Use synaptic (Package Manager) to install ivtv-utils, (in some distro's its just ivtv and described as Tools) If you don't have VLC media player installed use synaptic to install that too. In a terminal type (might be a good idea to copy and paste this command) 

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -i 2

and press the enter key (note 2 is Composite, 1 is S-video, 0 is TV-tuner). You will get a reply saying input is now composite.

Sample Systems for Consideration

remember: If it has USB then a wifi adapter can always be added.
