Ok, I'm sold on the pundit-r. I used to have a pundit (old model), but I had a break in and they sole it. (it had _everything_ of mine on there). So, what's a good cheap cpu and how much memory do I need to make it run mythtv. I've been working with IR for awhile, I should be able to make a module that plugs into the serial or usb port to do IR stuff for me, so that shouldn't be a problem. Just need to know if there is a way to pipe commands into mythtv from the userlevel.
