Monthly Meeting: Myth TV Thursday, May 15

Traveller's Inn, 1961 Douglas Street, Victoria

Do you have a Personal Video Recorder? At our Monthly Meeting on Thursday, May 15th, our presenter, Brent Sirna, President of the Victoria LInux Users Group (VLUG), will show us a much cheaper alternative called Myth TV which you can build in a computer that will do all the functions of a PVR such as 'live replays', pausing a live program to take a phone call and being able to pick up what you missed, recording your favourite program to allow another family member to see later, etc.

Our meeting will start at 7:30 pm at the Traveller's Inn at Douglas and Discovery Sts, entrance off Discovery St. As usual we will have our Pre-Meeting Social meeting for dinner, dessert and/or coffee in the dining room at 5:30 to 7pm to enjoy some computer-oriented chat and visiting. [5 May 08]
