Even Microsoft recognizes a dismal demand for the product (Xbox 360 is being considered a possible replacement to WMCE units).

Not for Linux MCPCs, but for MCPCs in general.

ItвЂ™s not because MythTV is particularly hard to deploy/maintain (for mass market, you need only one config of hardware and software and MythTV can be configured to EXACTLY mimic MSвЂ™ product or the other PVR software out there). The big reason you donвЂ™t see вЂњLinux Media Center PCsвЂќ is the same reason you donвЂ™t see many вЂњWhatever Media Center PCsвЂќ. Even the best of the best computer users will still fuss around for hours getting a linux media center running right. Take all those options, remove the GUI, stick some compilation in there, and youвЂ™ve got nearly everyone confused. Now these options are placed in pleasant GUIвЂ™s and such, but theyвЂ™re still all there, and many are needed to operate.

Tons of options are available, which is great for customizing, but stick 95 percent of users with those options and theyвЂ™ll never see TV on the screen. Sure it isnвЂ™t very customizable, but it works and does most everything people want it to. Look at MCE, setup is simple, really simple.

I do think linux has an issue entering this market though. I gave up on MythTV since Development stopped and Freevo I never really liked. I personally have gone to using MCE for my living room and still compile MediaPortal on occasion to see how itвЂ™s progressing. For the linux side of things, everything is unpolished and performance is lacking. MediaPortal looks like it will be the next big player being open source, and totally customizable, unfortunately itвЂ™s really buggy still, and performance isnвЂ™t there yet.

GBPVR is really good for a small community. Most likely due to the community support, but still, they are most definately windows based softare. IвЂ™ve used a bunch of вЂњmedia centerвЂќ software, myth-tv, freevo, gbpvr, mce 2005, mediaportal, meedio, etcвЂ¦ And the best programs are definately in windows. Hell for that matter, not too many people know FLOSS PBXвЂ™s ala Astarix exist, and itвЂ™s the interest of the companies that sell equipment and services based off it not to advertise what software platform they run to avoid competition.Д«usiness based off of an Open Source product is difficult to setup and maintain, unless itвЂ™s strictly services based. Lots of people have heard of Tivo, not too many know MythTV even exists. So with feature parity, atleast right now, all you can do is compete on price. You now can only advertise that you donвЂ™t have a monthly fee-BUT TIVO HAS A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION FOR $300. If you want to setup a PVR business how exactly are you supposed to compete with TiVo or ReplayTV or the proprietary ones that cable companies sell? The best features of MythTV are illegal in the US, so if you advertise them, you face the risk of being brought down like Kazaa wasвЂ“encouraging end-users to violate copyright even though youre equipment/service is capable of non-copyright violating uses. If I ever wind up on one of those countries IвЂ™m going to buy one of those things, IвЂ™m not going to let any greedy faceless corporations legislate away my rights to the content I payed for that easily.ДЇorget being OSS as a benefit, no TV watcher gives a damn about a software license, they care less than even business users, and no heвЂ™s not going to read the source code.

Those usually take the form of filters that have to be installed in the signal path between the movie player or decoder and the TV and strip any HDCP protection out of the video signal, leaving the movie to play on unprotected displays.вЂќ вЂњBy 2005, devices were developed and freely sold in countries without restrictions on copyright circumvention.

Where is the free market if everyone needs to be running Intel + Microsoft or Apple in order to get good quality out of вЂњhigh definitionвЂќ media? Did you notice the part about low quality if you donвЂ™t use a compatible device? What about the possibility of complete denial of service?ДЄnd what is the point to high definition if youвЂ™re only going to get lower definition without the necessary and initially expensive hardware required to play such media. It says itвЂ™s rumor, but I recall this being announced by the movie industry. Since few HDCP-capable television sets are in use, this effectively negates the purpose of HD-DVD and Blu-ray.вЂќ

If such a player is connected to a non-HDCP-enabled television set, the player will either output a downsampled 480p signal or nothing at all. вЂњIt is rumored that HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc players will only output full-resolution signals using HDCP.
