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.

Especially an Alpha Powered Linux box!
alpha box, but they were too expensive.
Until this afternoon I was running Slackware 8 on a XP 1800+ with a
30gig UW SCSI drive... then I decided to switch to Slack 9. The damn
iso keeps skipping some of the important packages...
Still love Linux though.

They still make the Alpha boxes. I bought mine from eBay. It's an EV56 with .5 gigs of ram and 2-10K 9 gig SCSI drives, nice rackmount case (made by Aspen Systems). All for $350! I called Aspen to get a quote on some refurbed models so I could build a cluster but they wanted waaayyyy too much $$$, $3600! You can get good **** on eBay once in a while.
