However, MythTV takes some getting used to and is not recommended for beginners. You can have a frontend for interacting with it to either play the recorded programmes or stored videos and that frontend can be ether on the same PC as the backend or on another machine. This has a (not very powerful and energy consuming) PC as a Media Centre backend with a couple of USB TV tuners to record or play TV channels and these can be networked to anywhere in the house or beyond for that matter.

So yes it should work for you.Īs an example of where you can go with Open Source Software, I in fact use a Linux system called MythTV.

If you don't like the Media Player that comes with your Distro then you can easily install VLC. They will detect a USB drive when it is plugged in and can easily work of network storage devices. All Linux Distros meant for PCs and Laptops have Media Players built in. Lenovo makes no representation or warranty regarding third party products or services.
