Build your own DVR

[Ghoulish Delight]

Good link. Looks like WinTV is a good option, with its dual tuner. That'd save a few bucks, which I could use to pay for a wireless adapter. Otherwise, in reading this, it looks like I was pretty spot on with the requirements. Save for the extra $ they recommend for quieter equipment (our ReplayTV is pretty loud. The distance and the cabinet it's housed in make it a non-issue for us), their budget system is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. We don't have HDTV (heck, we don't even have digital cable...or a cable box. Just good old analog coax coming out of the wall), so the boost in processor and video power they suggest would be unnecessary for us.
