craving mythtv
I’ve been bitten by the MythTv bug.
It’s a really cool idea that was inspired by Tivo, but it’s grown way beyond that. You put together a computer with a video-capture card, TV output, big hard drive, and give it a net connection. You let it know which shows you want to download, and it saves them to your hard drive. You can use it to watch and pause live tv as well.
It’s been getting lots of press lately.
