would like programing information


im curious as to how to make a program to record live tv (like a pvr), i know you can just download myth-tv or vdr. im just curious as to watch languages i would need to know, and if there was really any documention i could read that would help better understand the programing that goes into a device like that? and if python could be used to make one? thank you for the information you contribute. and i was also wondering if myth-tv develop its own pvr or used a already made prgram and modified it for its distrobution?

The best approach is to read the source code of an existing project. Also the list archives for the project.

Whatever language that project uses, is the one you need to learn.

MythTV incorporates a range of pre-existing code and origitnal work - like all open source projects.
