Users who have had both the 169time and r5000hd consider the r5000hd
to be a far more reliable device. (There are two threads on the
r5000hd at http://www.avsforum.com, under the HDTV Recorders and
Players section. Lots of former 169time users. (There is also an
"upgrade" deal for 169time users).)
The r5000hd must be hosted on a Windows PC (much like the AVX1 for
the 169time). The Windows capture application for r5000hd has the
capability to output the data stream over firewire to a DVHS deck,
and it can be controlled (ie. tune to channel, start recording, stop)
by sending commands using telnet.
So if you get it working, you'd actually have to have a mod'ed DirecTV
receiver and a Windows PC with (something?) in and firewire out for each
channel you want to record concurrently--all that plus your MythTV
box(es)? Sounds like a very ineffecient process...
