MythTV
MythTV is a free and open-source digital video recorder and media center application with a simplified "10-foot user interface" design for the living room TV. It turns a computer with the necessary hardware into a network streaming digital video recorder, a digital multimedia home entertainment system, or a home theater PC. It can be considered a free and open-source alternative to TiVo or Windows Media Center. It runs on various operating systems, primarily Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. == History == The MythTV project was started in April 2002 by Isaac Richards, who explained his motivation: I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that AT&T Broadband provides with their digital cable service.
