MythTV, the PVR-150, and DISH Control via IR Blaster!

I have recently returned from the 2005 APS-DPP conference on plasma physics. While not my first scientific conference, it was the first of my graduate career! I presented a poster on the adaptation of the DIII-D plasma control system (PCS) to the Pegasus Toroidal Experiment. (Pictures Here)

With APS over with, I can get back to regular life, like schoolwork (ack), dating, and Linux hacking! Yes, I am a nerd. :) As such, I've put together a MythTV Guide, as I alluded to earlier, which will be evolving along with my Myth expertise. So far, I've been able to get a Hauppauge PVR-150 unit working with Myth on my Fedora Core 3 box, in the sense that I can watch television, record it and use the built-in IR blaster to control my DISH network satellite receiver! (Truly a dangerous development.)

And, since it's Halloween, have a look at the jack-o-lanterns we made this year -- Tux and The Cheat included!
