DIY Tivo
Just read a long thread on Slashdot about building your own TIVO. Looks like the two software projects leading this free option are:
MythTV
and FreeVo
To save you the time, basically unless you have alot of spare time on your hands and are quite the Linux hacker and like debugging drivers, just go with the Tivo. The hardware costs of DIY parts is about what you would pay for a 40 hour TIVO plus a lifetime subscription. And there are plenty of sites that will help you "upgrade" your Tivo. I love my TIVO and guess I am not enough of a geek to yet want to build my own. I am waiting until this feature is standard on my home media PC.
