I have build a MythTV box ( http://www.mythtv.org/ ) on a epia board,
and it kind of does the job (using mplayer/mencoder), but *if* a
hardware box/backend server solution ala squeezebox was available, I'd
switch right away.
MythTV does support a client/backend separation. The client software can
run on (multiple) quiet low power boxes that boot off of read-only CF in
your TV rooms, and the server software can run on the big beefy machine
with a giant RAID that you've already got in your basement running
Slimserver.
It's a lot more DIY than slimserver/squeezebox, but it can be done.
Just make sure that the client and backend machines have a wired
connection; wireless can't handle the bandwidth needed for video.
