Ask Slashdot article: Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? 
thepuma writes "Since I'm cheap, and don't want to pay monthly fees to Tivo, I am researching building my own low-budget Personal Video Recorder and player. Free software options include Freevo and MythTV. Hardware options are the main cost factor. How would you go about building the perfect low-budget PVR?" We've looked at similar questions before, but the guts of such a system (both hardware and software) have been improving -- MythTV, for instance, now supports Hauppauge's PVR-350 card. How would you build a system like this now?"

The Living Room PC. That promised land of computing, where our entertainment centers get intelligent, and PCs get super-easy to use. Yeah, right.
