Wayne,
I think for my first setup, I'm going with something less complicated than what Kevin has planned.
As far as I can tell, what I have planned should suffice for my intended purpose.
I want a PVR, and I want to timeshift programs so I don't have to watch commercials.
Man will it be nice to record CSI at 2am, when basketball preempts it.
Then I want to be able to save some recorded shows to cd/dvd for watching again later, the burner will not be in the mythtv box, so I must
have some sort of network connection (planning wireless) to (slowly) copy my shows over to a personal workstation.
I only get basic cable and don't need more than that (but boy do I miss The Daily Show). note: I have charter as the only cable option in Angier.
Athlon duron 800 512 mb ram A hauppauge PVR-250 (assuming initially the cabling comes with the card) (I believe this covers sound as well?) a wireless card (forget the version, older protocol 802.11b?) gentoo, ubuntu or FC3 as the OS
I think the only bits I need to purchase are the PVR-250 and the wireless card
I plan on putting this behind my entertainment center (it's caty-cornered) or possibly
in it if I get a shuttle or something for the enclosure.
That's a question, what are people using for their mythtv enclosures? Anything anybody really favors?
I don't suppose that the December mythtv presentation got recorded on video by anyone did it?

Front End / Back End? I thought one simply built a linux computer with a TV card, installed MythTV, and started watching movies immediately. What's all this about a "front end"?
A modded xbox would add about 2-300 bucks to the setup, right?

Do any of the solutions discussed handle HDTV?
I've been thinking about a MythTV project, too. But I'm not willing to give up the HD capability that the TWC box gives me.
