    With my linux box I can do the following to watch interrupts live:

    watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts"

    Is there a way to do this on Windows systems, especially Windows 7?

    I can only speak for XP, which is what I have.

    On XP, I don't know a way to watch them real time, but there is the next best thing, which is logging the events for a time, and then looking at the produced log file results.

    The program to do this is RATT - it's a Microsoft produced tool, that's really light weight, and clearly aimed at developers. Not that tough to use though, and it does the job.

    (Used it very recently myself to diagnose a problem with excessive hardware interrupts constantly taking 25-40% of my CPU processing power. Helped me identify a defective driver that was sending insane amounts of hardware interrupts, and fix the problem. )

    Watching MythTV on windows
  • pgs

    I've got a MythTV backend running happily on a headless linux server, and I can control it via mythweb, including downloading and watching recorded programs in windows.

    My next step is to watch live TV and recorded shows over the network. Is there any software that does this?

    There's WinMyth and you can also try MythTvPlayer but their both still quite experimental so YMMV

    Well, I've got the mythbox script for XBMC working happily for recorded shows, but with some slight audio stuttering for live TV, which disappears if I rewind a few seconds.

    Edit: Getting a lot closer and happier using a pre-built Windows frontend.

    I just use XBMC with MythTV's UPnP support. Works well enough for playback, but don't have as much control as a proper Myth Frontend; and doesn't do commercial skipping.
