Frugal Friday - Build a PVR for around $200
Actually, the title is a bit misleading.
It does presume that you already have a computer which you can dedicate to help you with PVR functionality, although as I understand, the computer can continue doing other things concurrently (presuming it’s powerful enough).
This setup also isn’t the most user friendly in the world, so consider yourself warned.
But, no more monthly fees for Tivo is a big plus, and you get to use those cheap Huge hard-drives on your PC to store tons of shows. Another advantage is rather small box which is all that is needed to be setup next to your TV, the computer can be elsewhere in the home, as long as PC is near Cable outlet and is connected to your home network (another pre-requisite, btw).
Here are the details.
