baldy I can help you make one if you want, it's not too difficult, just get a pc with a supported capture card.



the tivo already runs on linux so it's not too surprising there would be a free equivalent. it brings up an important issue though, any of you that value your freedom might want to look more into http://www.eff.org and possibly give em some money, DMCA is already bad enough, more bad law is in the mail.

I think the time has come for me to put a 120 gig hard drive in

my Tivo so it can go wild recording what it wants, maybe it will be happier and record better shows for me

I was looking into building a PVR awhile back, and this looked like the best option.

You can run it across a network with as many machines as you like, it does picture in picture, basic editing of recordings etc...



and on top of that it's open source... gotta love Linux.
