Thanks for your input. I had found what looks to be a plug-in for Myth called MythTivo. I don't know much about it, and I do not hold high hopes for it. Like you suggestion I will probably just build my Myth box as a jukebox. Do you have you Tivo remote working with your Myth box? Also do you mind sharing some of your hardware specs? In addition, I am currently am using Etivo to pull shows off my DirectTivo

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
