== topics to add to this wiki page==== Introduction ==- mythmote - android app MythTV supports operating systems other than Linux. Although similar to Linux, FreeBSD isn't a Linux distribution and MythTV runs on FreeBSD too. Macintosh OS-X is another *nix that can be used to run MythTV. For the Microsoft community things are not as optimistic. Due to inherent bloat and internal design dynamics porting MythTV to the Microsoft Windows platform has not happened as of this writing. There is, however, a way to run MythTV front-end on Microsoft Windows. There is no MythTV backend for Windows. There are now some [[MythTV Apps for Mobile Devices]]. There are streaming clients, as well as IP based remote controls that will run on many smart phones. Most of these apps are developed by 3rd party developers and are not official MythTV project releases. The primary operating system target for MythTV operation remains Linux. Although MythTV can be installed to run on a Linux system installed from one of the many available distributions, there are actually special Linux distributions built specifically for and around the purpose of using MythTV. With one of these specialized MythTV Linux distributions you can turn a PC into a DVR and multimedia center relatively easily. Of the available Linux distributions specifically for MythTV, [[Mythbuntu]] is currently one of the best. For that reason, much of the discussion here is Mythbuntu centric, however, also applies to running MythTV installed to Ubuntu, kubuntu, and Debian independently. Furthermore, whereas package management is not concerned, or specifics to the Windows shell, the MythTV information can also apply to running MythTV on any distribution.
