Re: Build a PVR
Alright, so I finally finished building mine.
Asus N4L-VM DH mobo
Core Duo 2.0GHz
1GB PC5300 DDR2 RAM
GeForce 6200 based video card
pcHDTV HD5500 tuner
250GB SATA HD
Samsung DVD+RW DL
NMedia HTPC 400 case
It's running MythTV on FC5. I may change the video card at some point because the Nvidia 6000 series doesn't support the correct MPEG accelleration very well. Luckily, the processor has more than enough power to decode HDTV. Actually, I can watch HD while doing commercial flagging in the background and still have some processing power to spare. When I get around to running a network cable to the living room I'll find out if it can also serve a remote frontend whilst under heavy load (I'm thinking it can).
