I finally got my
network run over to the MythTV box a couple days ago. I ran updates on the
PC and added a couple myth plug-ins that I did not get a chance to choose at
install.
I know this is
weird, but I don't have a TV capture card in this PC. I have digital
satellite and like digital cable, the tuner in the cards are not capable of
getting all the channels and require a descrambler box. I don't want to
mess with an IR blaster and training the family how to use the
device.
What I do want to do
is start getting torrents of TV episodes to the box. Is there anything in
MythTV to download torrents? I saw something about RSS feeds, but haven't
a clue about getting that going. I think I loaded a myth plugin for a feed
reader. How do I find the feeds or what is the best way to go about
finding episodes of a couple shows like Heroes, Mentalist, Dexter, Robot
Chicken, etc. including past seasons and getting them into the MythTV
database/interface?
I'm not sure that a
torrent program loaded, so I'll have to verify that or get one. I've
downloaded torrents before, but the key is to get them into MythTV to make it
easier for everyone else.
The other thing is
that I loaded a plugin for using game emulators within MythTV, called
MythGame. Do I have to load the emulators separately via the apt-get
process? Any idea how to import the game ROMs. Someone
gave me a couple burned CDs full of game ROMs a few years ago and as soon as I
find them, I like to get those classic games running.
