oh i like it , and if for no other reason than having a media center backed by someone big like ubuntu - it will likely replace xbmc for me

Easy Rhino · Jan 9, 2012

i am thinking the same. finally something easy to setup like xbmc BUT also includes what myth tv does!

nice, but one can only wonder what Cannonical is looking for on our TV's!

Web+TV= huge stats analytics business!!

smart move. provide a solid product to me and i dont care if you know what programs i watch.

kinda a day late and a dollar short if you ask me, like most things about Linux Distro's. Now if Ubuntu as is today came out in 2007 when its popularity started to peak more common curiosities of those looking to avoid Vista, then we may really have something today, in terms of breaking that >1% desktop barrier.
but whatever, Ubutntu tv looks nice and is a good, albeit late, start.

how does Ubuntu tv have anything to do with Vista?

F1reFly · Jan 9, 2012

media center. in other words, competitive of modern OS's. Ubuntu was always a bit behind in some things at a time when it had a chance to be much more successful.

Sure, but it is much, much more than knowing that only, it is the facebookilization of all media and all houses. still wondering?

that word should be in the dictionary :roll:

again, i really don't care what kind of data is gathered about me so long as i know it is being gathered AND it is anonymous.

Im really looking forward to it. I just hope that it has Media streaming Utilities for our computers that will be DLNA with auto trans-coding. Support MKV or have ability for us to install gstreamer codecs etc like normal. Also the ability to record w/o commercials your favorite shows.
