Load Mythtv and friends. You have a full blown home entertainment
Personal Video / Audio Recording system which should last for the
next 5 yrs. It should beat the crap out of commercial stuff costing
4 times as much. You need a 105db noise floor sound card to match the
pros.
Just curious to know, an ipod with a very high storage capacity costs
about 25k, roughly the same as the above combination and consumes little
power too. Will it do the rec/playback that you have mentioned above?
Only dreamt of an ipod, no real feel of it. :)

Rony.
