  1. Re:Sub $500 HD-PVR? on MythTV Compared with Windows Media Center · · Score: 1

    I've been running Xboxen modified to run XBMC in different rooms of my home for a couple of years now. It's great, except that it can't capture and is pretty much just a front end for a PC/Media Server. I'm looking to step into a custom PVR for the main TV viewing room, and using it to feed media to XBMC in other rooms.

  2. Sub $500 HD-PVR? on MythTV Compared with Windows Media Center · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm glad this showed up here. I'm currently in the market for a HD-PVR, in the market since I convinced the financial adviser (wife) that I could build one for less then $500. Now I just have to build one. Any good sources for parts, including a case and remote?

  3. Re:Use As an Observation Location? on One REALLY Long Runway for Rent · · Score: 1

    NASA has calculated that the minimum safe distance in the event of a fully fueled space shuttle stack is three miles for personnel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_complex_39 I'm not sure how far away the landing strip is from the launch pad, but I doubt three miles. I like the idea though.
