Comments on: PS3 as a DVR http://psubuntu.com/2007/01/17/ps3-as-a-pvr/ Ubuntu on a Playstation 3 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:45:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Joel Wheeler http://psubuntu.com/2007/01/17/ps3-as-a-pvr/#comment-11510 Joel Wheeler Sat, 31 May 2008 23:42:10 +0000 http://psubuntu.com/?p=4#comment-11510 I bought this. I spent over a month trying to get it to work. Anything you find online for instructions on getting this to work on a PS3 (or any Linux distro, for that matter) are spotty at best. What little that I was able to find online was mostly geared towards Gentoo Linux. It was not even very straightforward getting it to work on my Linux PC. However, after some messing with it, and some info on http://nikosapi.org, I was able to get it to work on my Linux PC, but was still unable to get MythTV to work with it. My advice- unless you're a Linux genius, save your $$'s. If someone could figure this out I would be forever grateful. However, I'm thinking at this point it's just a marketing scam. I bought this.
