I would go with a PVR-250 instead. They are easier to configure than a PVR-350. You would need a separate video card to output the video to a TV. If you are inexperienced with linux, try installing knoppmyth. You can download an iso of it at www.mysettopbox.tv

I have never built a computer my self. My experience is limited to upgrades (new hard drive here, more ram there), very basic. I would like to try to build one of these and I hope this is the right channel to get some advice. Here is what I have put together on newegg.com, based on the research I have so far: REFURBISHED: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 PCI Interface Video Recorder, TV/FM Tuner Card - OEM Model #: 990 $127.00 pqi POWER Series 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model MD4412UOE - Retail Model #: MD4412UOE $40.25 Western Digital Caviar SE WD2000JD 200GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM Model #: WD2000JD $98.00 nMEDIAPC HTPC 100 B775 Socket T(LGA775) Intel Pentium 4/Celeron INTEL 915G Computer Case - Retail Model #: HTPC 100 B775 $265.00 I am starting with a bare-bones system, seems that would save a good deal of work and I have a dvd-burner in my compaq presario that I think might work. If not, it may just be a later upgrade once I get going. Thanks for any advice. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
