Mythbuntu busted as last two devs working on media centre distro quit

Re: Notion of Gratitude

MediaPortal is a nice piece of software, too. I'd love to see some stats and comparisons about the features and resource usage of different multi-tuner MythTV and MediaPortal setups. Maybe they could put ChromeCast, XBMC and Kodi in there too, just to show how different the feature sets are.

Re: Sad news

Unfortunately, setting up MythTV is not quite that simple. Mythbuntu team has done a lot of work to make the maintenance and installation of MythTV a lot easier.

Notion of Gratitude

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the developers of Mythbuntu. I have used the distro on multiple computers since 2010, and I still use it on daily bases. The distribution has made the installation of MythTV a far smaller hassle than it would be without the distro, and the included control center software has helped me countless times. Mythbuntu has also provided an excellent set of tools for managing my PVRs, which are far more than just MythTV-based media centers, like the article suggests. I dare you to set up a multi-tuner PVR + media center with low IO and CPU loads and acceptable WAF using Windows or Linux without Mythbuntu, and you start to appreciate what these people have done.

Thank you for your work, it truly is sincerely appreciated.
