The Linux Tutorial Shows You Step-by-Step How-to Install and Getting-Started with MythTV Media Software Center and Digital TV Watching on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr LTS i386/amd64 Linux+GNU Desktop.

We like to think of MythTV as the Ultimate Digital Video Recorder and Home Media Center hub.
Think of it as a Free and Open Source alternative to Windows Media Center or Tivo.

MythTV Main Features List:

• Watch and record analog and/or digital TV, including HDTV.
• Pause, skip, and rewind live TV shows.
• Completely automatic commercial detection/skipping, with manual correction via an intuitive cutlist editor.
• Intelligently schedules recordings to avoid conflicts.
• Parental controls to keep your kids out of the good shows.
• Watch and archive DVDs.
• Listen to your digital music collection.
• Schedule and administer many functions remotely via a web browser.
• Flexible client/server architecture allows multiple frontend client machines to access content served by one or more backend servers
  
  (although the most common installation consists of a single computer running both the client and server together).
