Homemade PVR's

Wired has an article about building your own PVR which will supposedly work better than TiVo or Replay. I like the part about MythTV working in distributed mode.

Note: Some of this is still in the early development stage. I picked up a Hauppauge card yesterday which has a hardware encoder. I'm having to upgrade the operating system and may have to buy more memory to get it working smoothly (my ME cannot handle the card well)(it's jerky).
