hesby writes "Anandtech has just published the first half of a two-part article on building a MythTV PVR that they will ultimately compare with Microsoft's Windows Media Center Edition on very similar hardware.

  1. or just get a TiVo by Mike+Bridge · · Score: 1, Redundant

    or buy a TiVo (40 hour unit, see www.tivocommunity.com for how to add additional IDE hard drives for more space) for $99 (after $100 rebate), then tack on $299 for a lifetime service agreement (or $12.95/month if you don't think you'll keep it that long - $6.95/month for each additional box in your house), and you're how many $$'s ahead, with how much extra time from not building your own system??
