Certainly no problem with that plan. The only advantage I can see to
MythTV is the ability to do a lot more with the box. Weather updates,
News feeds, DVD player/ripper, silly games, image gallery viewer, music
player, etc...
I am thinking more along the lines of a box to combine the functions of
Tivo, Linksys Media Gateway, Living room PC, MP3 jukebox, DVD burner,
etc. I was planning to add all of those to my living room A/V stack.
So, I thought, why not combine them all into a single box, with the
added flexibility of open-source software, so I can tweak it as desired.
Of course, the REAL reason is just to have a new geek project to play
with. ;-) If I was serious about getting PVR going quickly with my
DirecTV service, I would buy the box from DirecTV.
Ah, the best part... you get a lovable linux box in your living room
EITHER WAY. :-)
