to mythbuntu or not to mythbuntu

Post by tonyguadagno »

hi, currently i have a debian(wheezy) backend and a mythbuntu frontend (both on .27.current) I want to get to .28 but also, i need to upgrade the debian backend to support .28. sooo, i was thinking changing the backend to mythbuntu as well, then i would be able to go to .28.
I have seen the notices that mythbuntu will not be developed any more, but the mythbuntu mythtv repo's will still be avaiable, so should i even bother with mythbuntu...if not then what? ubuntu and use the mythbuntu mythtv repo's?

whats the general consensus on what os to use?

thanks

xubuntu seems to be the favorite. what about versions? one complication is I use the saa7164 driver for my capture card. my understanding is that it does not work in ubuntu version 16, only version 14....anyone know about that?

thanks
