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?"

ExtemeTech Build It: Extreme Personal Video Recorder
The Living Room PC. That promised land of computing, where our entertainment centers get intelligent, and PCs get super-easy to use. Yeah, right. Although we're not quite there yet, we are getting ever closer to that day when every family member, not just the house's sysadmin (you, probably) can fire up the PC media appliance, access stored music, video, and photos, and record television off the air, cable or from webcasts. Soon we'll be able to see this device as just another component in the rack.
The good news is that you can build that appliance today...

Extreme Tech Article: Media Front-End Roundup
Extreme Tech Article: Media Front-End Roundup November 7, 2003
The Home Theater PC seems to be increasing in popularity, even though dedicated function devices have caught up with the PC in many cases. Hardware like TiVo has taken on PVR capability, $99 DVD players now ship with progressive-scan capability and TVs with scalers have dropped below the $2,000 barrier. But, with all of its versatility and flexibility, the PC can do all of these things -- sometimes better.
