Your DirecTivo will not work as a backend.  Depending on the model, you might be able to export recordings from it after extensive hacking, but there probably isn't a solution you are going to like that will work with your DirecTivo. (Full disclosure: I use a DirecTiVo for watching TV and a MythTV system for tinkering - and in the hope that it will one day work better than my DirecTivo.)

Regarding MythMusic, I'll refrain from saying anything as I have nothing nice to say.  If there are users out there who listen to a lot of music (as many hours/day as TV) and use MythMusic, I implore them to come forward and share their success stories.

MythVideo/MythDVD are a very nice little combo for watching/ripping DVD's.  From what I understand of your situation, I would recommend setting up a MythBox as a DVD player/juke while retaining the DirecTiVo for TV.

I'd like to build a Myth system. However, I'm not sure if I can build just a front-end system.

 

Here are my Goals

 

- Small Quiet system

- DVD / Music library (Main Goal)

       I'm tired of having my kid's man handle my DVD's and CD's

 

- Encode shows for my Pocket PC when I travel

- Use my Direct Tivo as my backend encoder (optional)

- DVD Burner to save shows

- Replace my old stereo system with a Myth system

       My Direct TV Tivo sound plays through my old Dolby Pro-Logic 5.1 via a RCA connection. No sound comes out of my TV

 

- I'd also like to use my Direct TV Tivo remote

       It has a switch for Satellite receiver or TV

 

Thanks in advance
