MythTV
http://www.mythtv.org/
I had one last year before they went to digital. I started this tv season off with a new one and just plain love it.
Does anyone else have/build one of these? How do you like it?

RE: MythTV
Favorite features are commercial skip, time-synch. I can watch most 1 hr shows in about 30 minutes. Try it you'll like it if you have free hd tv like me.

RE: MythTV
It has lots of bugs and one needs computer skills to operate it. I don't have much computer skills , but I have a pc guy that does all my work. He built it for me. http://www.mythtv.org/detail/mythtv

RE: MythTV
I had a MythTV box up and running for a while, and it is true they aren't for the faint of heart. Mine was cobbled together from old hardware and sometimes the machine would just have a fit and not work. I can't remember what the issue was though.
A friend of mine built his out of brand new components, known to work perfectly with MythTV, and his is pretty cool. I think it has 3 or even 4 tuners in it so he never misses a program. But his wife is a reality TV addict so I think that's why he built it.

RE: MythTV
Cool, My old one had 2 tuners , but this one only has 1. I rarely have a conflict still. I don't think I can get along w/out it.
ps I don't have cable or a cell phone either.
