MythTV is an open-source personal video recorder (PVR) that runs under Linux. The name MythTV comes from the concept of a mythical convergence box — a networked set-top box that displays many types of multimedia assets on an ordinary television. If you are familiar with TiVo, you already know about basic PVR features. MythTV adds support for HDTV, DVD-RW drives, playback of music files and photo albums, and video editing.
