Hello,<br><br>I am too cheap to subscribe to any TV service, and will only use my<br>box as a DVD/CD/MP3 player so I wont have to change discs too often.<br>Will mythTV be an overkill for me, because I get the impression that
<br>its main focus is to capture TV stream?

I have 2 front end machines that only watch recorded TV about once a week and the rest of the time they are playing music or watching movies. I know a guy with a HD setup that uses his MythTV to host his media (and his SD stuff) but he pipes his HD stuff directly to his TV. I wouldn't say it's overkill, no.
