<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear List</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Has anyone progressed this idea?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think S1 TiVo's (with a NIC eg Cachecard added) could make
great SD MythTV front-end. (HD - probably not?) Just like an
XBox, MediaMVP etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are lots of them around.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The remote seems the best in the business so all the hardware
is there. The tuners would presumably become obsolete in this role.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These boxes are quiet. It might even be possible to
quieten them even more by replacing the HDD with Solid state media. (Even
do without by downloading OS off the server - probably need something small to
initiate this however?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are many TiVo users who are likely to move to MythTV at
some point. This would be a great way to re-cycle the
hardware!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Seems I am not the first to think of this!
