Wes,

Thanks for the info on HDHomeRun.  I happen to live in Orange County, but since 
I know Bill K from way back in the day, he suggested posting to LUGOD so here I 
am.

Might I ask what kind of SD tuner cards you have?  It's looking and more like I 
won't be able to find one card that does both digital and analog.  That is 
unless anyone else throws out a suggestion.

In regards to the video card, I checked the Nvidia website and they do have 
Linux drivers.  So I think I'm good there.  Unfortunately, this means I 
probably won't be able to get away with a mobo that has integrated graphics.  
Since my mythbox is not going to be for gaming I was hoping to avoid an extra 
card inside the computer and the associate power consumption and loss of air 
flow.

Jimbo,

Any particular reason you suggested BeyondTV over SageTV.  I've test drove the 
Win 7 media center and it seems pretty good for a built in media center.

How would you transition to Linux?  I'm envisioning some type of dual boot 
system.  Does Win 7 have the same boot loader as Linux?
