	<p>If you are going to setup a PC as a dedicated PVR, the easiest solution is just to install LinuxMCE. Even if you're not interested in the other aspects of LinuxMCE (home automation, security, telecom, etc.), it's a very quick way to get a PVR up and going. Just download the Kick-Start CD and boot--it will automatically install & configure a Debian OS, the LinuxMCE software, the PVR software, and, if you wish, all the source code. This way your PVR is very easy to configure using a web-based configuration front-end--you don't even need to login to a console. And it will update itself automatically with the latest versions. http://www.~~LinuxMCE~~.com/support</p>		<p>If you are going to setup a PC as a dedicated PVR, the easiest solution is just to install LinuxMCE.

<p>The drivers we have included here include the Video4Linux project with Blackbird patches, plus some additional patches and an ivtv emulation layer allowing the drivers to be used in a PVR, such as MythTV.</p>
