Anyone using a PC as a PVR or DVR with a satilite receiver? What's your setup? How is it working? Is it worth it or should I just buy a PVR.

Thanks

heck yea!

why pay for Tivo/pvr when you can do it for free (or just the cost of a card and software!)

hehe..

anywho..

i'd recommend a tv tuner card (with built in mpeg hardware encoder) and using either SageTV or BeyondTV to run as the frontend PVR software.

I use SageTV and love it!! has intelligent recording, tons of awesome add-ons (great power user/customizing forum too!), program guide, and tons more...

peace

GB-PVR or Mediaportal.
