The Mini-ITX Linux PVR Project

An anonymous reader writes "Home theater PCs have taken many shapes and forms, perhaps none more interesting than this Mini-ITX PVR. In part three of its Mini-ITX project, XYZ Computing has turned its Mini-ITX box into a Linux PVR, using Ubuntu and MythTV. This is a lot of computer in a very small package and designing it, putting it together, and then getting it to work was an interesting process. The article is a great guide for people who are interested in their own Mini-ITX Linux PVR, but also goes over the problems and pitfalls of a build like this."

KnoppMyth gets pretty close to what you are describing:

It's not perfect but it's close to out-of-the-box.

It helps if you are careful when selecting your hardware to make sure it is well supported ahead of time (hauppauge is a good call).
