25 years of Commodore 64
Raises a little tenderness to read articles about the 25th anniversary of the Commodore 64. Inaccuracies
The most annoying is that in which is defined as "the first computer in the world," also tested as Republic.
While it is more likely to have been the model with the greatest number of units sold.
It was not my first computer, since my first steps I made them on Sinclair ZX80, Commodore PET and that my high school had purchased but was neglected in the laboratory until I put the hands on, then the VIC 20.
And even the first PC that I bought, because before I bought a Commodore 64 Texas TI-99/4A .
But the Commodore 64 is still a milestone for me, too absolute, and I think having done almost everything you could do about it. Even the first coin.

NVIDIA has dropped support XvMC in linux drivers for the GeForce family. Even the driver AMD / ATI Linux drivers missing XvMC support. At the end we chose the integrated graphics on the Tyan Toledoi965R . L ' Intel GMA 3000 for games and' slow, but soon the open source Linux driver will support XvMC. After a little 'test MythTV on GMA 3000, we were pleased with this chip.
addition, the article goes on to specify that it' was incredibly simple to install and configure MythTV with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, and "our system was fast enough to handle the dual TV tuner and all the associated tasks and the system has shot very well. The Intel GMA 3000 has had some delays when watching video on an LCD display, but can 'easily be replaced with a GeForce card graficaNVIDIA 6 or 7 "

home / Perchè questa guida
Usando un normale televisore in standard PAL (il cui formato è assimilabile ad una risoluzione di 768x567 pixel) come video per il pc, dobbiamo decidere su quale risoluzione impostare la scheda grafica.
Schede grafiche dotate di uscita TV possono occuparsi della conversione della risoluzione attraverso una interpolazione, ma "interpolare" significa comprimere in uno spazio minore our pixels.
With a video card that allows us to compress the PAL signal to a resolution of 1024x768, we risk that the interpolation output makes it illegible or invisible most of the graphics are often required to interact with the application. The resolution
whose compromise between readability and compatibility with applications is that of 800x600. But moltre applications are made to run on minimum resolution of 1024x768, unfortunately also on Linux by setting lower resolutions we are with the non-scrollable dialog box whose buttons are not visible.
HD ready? No, thanks
And surely you should buy a HD ready TV
Keyboards and mice living in hell
The other half consists of the input devices, keyboard and mouse also by deploying wireless keyboard and wireless mouse and without the ball, expect to use in places other than a desk or in an environment like a living room poses a serious threat to family peace. The mouse forces us to a precision that could be difficult if used on special surfaces, and the keyboard is too cumbersome to keep you on your knees or beside the chair. Welcome to MythTV
After all these problems, the good news is that MythTV was developed to solve them.
L'altro caso in cui MythTV si rivela la soluzione adatta, è se abbiamo un PC vicino alla presa dell'antenna, e desideriamo usare questa macchina come server a cui collegare gli altri pc. Questo è possibile perchè Mythtv divide le sue funzioni tra back-end (acquisizione del segnale dalla scheda video e salvataggio nel disco fisso) e front-end (visualizzazione del video), funzioni che nella configurazione più semplice possono essere eseguite sullo stesso computer che diventa un Set Top Box o un Personal Video Recorde, ma in scenari più complessi consentono to run these functions on several PCs.

Se si desidera guardare la TV sul proprio pc, o più in generale usare il pc per vedere la TV, non è detto che MythTV sia la soluzione per tutte le esigenze.
Possiamo generalizzare 2 casi particolari in cui può essere conveniente utilizzare MythTV:
- quando si voglia utilizzare un PC come Personal Video Recorder, o Set Top Box, da collegare al televisore; - quando si voglia usare un server con scheda di acquisizione all'interno di una LAN, e accedere ai contenuti televisivi da altri PC in rete. Per gli altri casi, ovvero nel caso in cui usiamo il nostro desktop per le normali funzioni di lavoro, collegato ad un normale monitor per pc, l'uso di MythTV non si rivela la soluzione adatta: meglio usare un programma come Kaffeine o gxine per aprire una finestra e vedere la TV mentre si vogliono usare altri programmi. MythTV per costruire un PVR Il nome stesso "Myth TV" si riferisce al mito della convergenza digitale che dovrebbe fare in modo che PC e televisori, oltre ad altri dispositivi domestici, si possano parlare, interconnettere e utilizzare formati compatibili. Questo "mito" forse si sta piano piano raggiungendo, ma sono ancora molti gli ostacoli ad una vera convergenza. Collegare un pc al televisore non significa soltanto avere la scheda video con uscita video composito, e da questo il giusto cavetto verso la presa scart del televisore: collegato fisicamente il televisore ci troviamo subito il problema della risoluzione. Usando un normale televisore in standard PAL (il cui formato è assimilabile ad una risoluzione di 768x567 pixel) come video per il pc, dobbiamo decidere su quale risoluzione impostare la scheda grafica.

: do not recommend to see the "so-called" high-definition television to its normal, and even less if you plan to connect to your PC. Among the problems to be solved, in addition to the true image resolution on these TVs, is one of the sockets and connecting cables: to be verified if this TV is equipped with SVGA, because if connected via scart signal that passes PAL is the standard and then standard resolution. Even using the HDMI connection opens several scenarios where things often go in a very different way from what you would expect.

After all these problems, the good news is that MythTV was developed to solve them.
The interface is designed to be visible on television type resolutions, and to use a remote control instead of keyboard and mouse.
possible to use the remote control does not mean simply finding correspondences between tasti dei telecomandi e degli acceleratori nelle applicazioni, ma fare in modo che l'applicazione sia pensata consentendone l'uso tramite telecomando. MythTV sul back endL'altro caso in cui MythTV si rivela la soluzione adatta, è se abbiamo un PC vicino alla presa dell'antenna, e desideriamo usare questa macchina come server a cui collegare gli altri pc. Questo è possibile perchè Mythtv divide le sue funzioni tra back-end (acquisizione del segnale dalla scheda video e salvataggio nel disco fisso) e front-end (visualizzazione del video), funzioni che nella configurazione più semplice possono essere eseguite sullo stesso computer che diventa un Set Top Box o un Personal Video Recorde, ma in scenari più complessi consentono to run these functions on several PCs.
