Just wanted to hop on the soapbox for a minuite..
Been piddling (and piddling's the word) with this project the last year or so..
Backend is running Gentoo Linux on a P4 2.8Ghz, 4GB RAM, and a combined raid5 volume of 786 Gigs
Hauppauge PVR-150 for analog
Silicondust HDHomerun for digital
Three frontends:
One in living room running Gentoo Linux
One in bedroom running MythBuntu
One on my laptop, Ubuntu desktop build.
the capabilities of this project are insane, I can do everything the commercial DVR's can do, plus more!
High-Definition video capability
Record 3 streams at the same time
Pause playback of a recording on one frontend, and resume playback in another room.
Playback of movie trailers
Playback of video files shared on my network
Playback of music on my network
management through a web-based GUI, with flash video playback
Yes, I can sit at work and watch recordings on my myth backend!
plus much much more
