Build A MythTV Box — the Video

Published on June 10th, 2005

Systm — Here is an interesting site with a couple of DAP (download-and-play) education videos. The one you should check out is the How to Build a MythTV. It’s the rage.

MAN, THIS IS COOL!!!!!!!!!!

The video is so slick, and very professionally done!!! The kids presenting it talk a bit too fast for non-native english speakers such as myself, but they present the matter in such a confident and fluent way that you wonder if they’ve been doing this for years!

Top marks! I am impressed!

Systm is Awesome!!!!!

If you are new to them, then also check out TheBroken.

I find it funny that this story got Dug , as we
all know that Dvorak is buddies with Leo Laporte, whom is in turn
friends with the guyz who make Systm.

Kevin Rose and Dan Huard are awesome. They used to be on TechTV and helped host a show called the Screen Savers. Very interesting video…can’t wait for the next Systm.

Systm is a great addition to my weekly list of things to download and watch Now if I could only get content like this on my television, I’d be glued to the television.

Kevin and Dan rock! what can I say?
Systm is the future of IT knowledge sharing, I’m looking forward to whatever they do next.
BTW, if you like systm, check out thebroken, Kevin and Dan’s slightly more ‘underground’ tech project. It’s really awesome!

They have been doing this for years. They are both former TechTV presenters. It is very slick though especially the h.264 qt version.

They have been doing it for years. They are past hosts of one of the best shows on the former Tech TV show “The Screen Savers”. If you want more info about Systm, Kevin Rose, or Dan Huard, check out: systm.org kevinrose.com scopetech.net and thebroken.org

Miguel Lopes they have been doing this for years … G4tv and Techtv.

Of course they’ve been doing it for years, this is The Dark Tipper (he hates that), Kevin Rose and Foo Foo, Dan Huard (he hates that too). They, along with Leo LAporte, Patrick Norton and Sarah Lane were the ones who made TRS (The Screen Savers) GREAT !!!

Athough, I do agree .. they talk a little fast, especially Dan. They seem nervous or something.

Keep up the good work SYSTM !!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

That’s because they have been doing this for years. They were hosts on The ScreenSavers on TechTV before G4 bought the station and ruined it. They also have another show, TheBroken where they show the darker side of tech (hacking, wardriving, etc.). It’s an older show that the plan to start up again soon, and it’s more formal and laid back compared to Systm.

And guess what? “They’ve been doing this for years!”

WE GET IT!!!

With all these fans my guess is that they’ll keep doing it for years to come. Good. But get on with it.

OK, they have been doing it for years It’s just that I never saw them before in my neck of the woods!
