Yes, but not very well. You'll have to manually schedule
recordings since you'll have no way for MythTV to fetch the
program schedule.

Is there no way to make Myth get that program info off
air via EPG signal?

the server log;

Just to make sure.... this is OFF air programming only
right Wes?

You do NOT have cable TV service? Right?

Right, I don't have cable or sat.

Let me make one thing clear. I only recommend MythTV for OTA
digital (HDTV) reception.

Oops..... I see this is my answer to previous post

Question tho.....could Myth work without ANY Internet
service at all?

Yes, but without some program guide you'd have to schedule manual
recordings by time slots. The manual reording is also very versatile.

Yes, but manual recordings.

Grant says there is. I know nothing about it and have no need for it.

Mater of fact.... it would be OK if I didn't get around
to watching what is in the hard drive in say a certain
number days.... that it just records right over it
again.

Yep. That's would happen by default.
