As Facebook is selling my sole for manna and I prefer to use software made by the people for the people i decided to move to Diaspora*.
So, please, come and join our free community at:
https://diasporafoundation.org/
I really enjoy Diaspora and think you will as well.
But remember it’s not Facebook but a similar community which need to develop and mature.
Only we, the people, have the power to make it what we want it to be.

I have created a video for the ones who have problems with MythTV.The video handles some of the most common errors when installing MythTV the first time.
It also contain the installation of the HDHomeRun drivers from Silicondust on Ubuntu.
For users having the Yousee cable provider is instruction how to get it up and running on Linux (the information can be used on MS Windows as well).
In the video I also refer to a spreadsheet with all the frequencies for Yousee: dtv_multiplex
