[LUG] building myself a PVR

 

Hi all,

Our cheap 30 quid freeview box has died and I'm looking at spending
maybe a couple of hundred quid building or buying a PVR - the problem
is that the affordable ones, tend to be short of features and space,
and even the expensive ones lack a lot of what knoppmyth could offer
on a relatively low end PC.

So has anybody else built themselves one?

Also what kind of money do you think I'd need to spend to assemble a
cheap system - given you can buy a new desktop system for about 300
quid, about the price of high-end PVR's you would still need to get
two decent linux-friendly Digital TV cards.

Cheers,

A.
