e TV as computer “ e growth of personal computers is happening so rapidly that the future open-architecture television is the PC, period. e set-top box will be a credit-card-size insert that turns your PC into an electronic gateway for cable, telephone, or satellite. In other words, there is no TV-set industry in the future. It is nothing more or less than a computer industry: displays lled with tons of memory and processing power.”

e bit radiation business “ e key to the future of television is to stop thinking about television as television. TV bene ts most from thinking of it in terms of bits. Motion pictures, too, are just a special case of data broadcast. Bits are bits.”

Anything, anytime, anywhere television “If your TV could record every program transmitted, you would already have ve times the selectivity o ered in the superhighway’s broad-brush style of thinking. Say, instead of keeping them all, you have your TV agent grab the one or two in which you might have interest, for your future viewing at any time.”

RTFM ere are two main logical elements in a MythTV system: L e backend contains the TV capture cards, and stores the recorded video. A typical system will contain at least one backend L e frontend is connected to your TV screen and lets you watch LiveTV and recorded shows. It gets its data from the backend
