No, I haven't done it. Yet.

But, when I do, I probably won't end up using MythTV, like I thought I would. Rather, I think I'll be using BoxxeeBox. Where MythTV is geared toward making a DVR, like Tivo, BoxxeeBox is more geared toward making home theater/multimedia machine, which is really what I want.

So, yeah, there are options.  Check this one out if you're thinking about building a home theater machine.  It's worth considering.

(And, yes, I'm trying to clean out old posts that have been lingering as drafts again.  New Year and all.)
