Best free PVR software?

[Sniper82]

I'd like to try MythTV but it seems like it could be a headace since I know nothing about linux. But I am about to build a HTPC and I want to use the best/most feature filled software thats free.

I use GB-PVR

I heard some PVR software had a feature that had commercial detect. Whats that do exactly? Does GB-PVR have it?

 

[mooncancook]

I don't know because i hardly do anything with it. You should check out GB-PVR website to find more technical info. just google for bg-pvr. videohelp.com is another good place to look for such info.

yes, GB-PVR can detect commercials with the com-skip add-in

 

[Sniper82]

Is there a way to cut commercials from recorded shows?

 

[doan]

Also interested, bump. I tried GB-PVR but I'm not sure if you can get listings for free.
