As I want to buy a new smart tv/ pc monitor soon, what should I purchase - or what tech criteria does it need to have - that will allow me to update the firmware (?) with Ubuntu tv software when it becomes available?
I have a 1080p TV and was wondering if there is some kind of specific hardware for Ubuntu TV or any technical specifications for it that I should know. Will it work correctly with a 1080p TV with HDMI or does it work with only a group of TVs.
What are the hardware requirements to use Ubuntu TV?
Will there be a way to get all the features of an Ubuntu TV onto a regular TV by hooking up a computer to your TV?
I've seen the blurbs about Ubuntu TV being able to receive from cable and it has EPG and so on, and I'd love to install it on a regular PC that is currently running Windows Media Center.
I don't merely want to have a media player; I specifically want to be able to watch and record live TV via a tuner expansion card. I have tried installing MythTV earlier, but I failed miserably because the instructions I used were US-centric but I'm in Austria (Europe). I couldn't find a way to make the TV tuner work right.
I'm concerned that this time, again, Ubuntu TV will only work really well in the USA.
Given that I'm in non-US country "X", what are my chances of getting Ubuntu TV to work well, specifically with regard to receiving local-region EPG data and also aerial and cable TV signals in PAL and DVB-T formats?
As the titles says, what is Ubuntu TV and what are the main differences / advantages compared with any media center out there?
