What would be the cheapest way on doing this?

<pre>(imho imho imho)
The cheapEST way would be two HVR-950s or HVR-1250s (figure $50-65 each),
plus an nvidia card that does XvMC ($30). Assuming your machine has enough
usb/pcie slots to support them, of course.
If that doesn't work for you, then the next cheapest route is the HVRs on
the backend, plus a UPnP front end that does high def. I bought my ZyXEL
for $100 with a rebate, $150 is the regular daily price.
A lot of people like the HDHR, but I just don't like throwing traffic on my
network that I don't believe HAS to be there. Add in that dual hauppauges
are cheaper, and the HDHR was a non-starter for me.

That's not a bad suggestion, I hadn't thought on getting a UPNP high
definition player. In my case, I'd probably only get an HVR-1600 since
I only have PCI slots. </div>

<div>Just be warned that not all UPnP experiences are created alike
and many UPnP players have various issues with Myth's fairly new
implementation of UPnP. While those problems can be worked out, it may
end up being a very frustrating experience compared to other "native"
options. I would also keep an eye on the progress of HD playback on the
AppleTV as those are very competitively priced and offer a native
mythfrontend option.</div>

I'm aware of the problems with UPnP. My archos is only able to see
music from Myth's UPnP, no video or pics. Last night I was reading up
on the AppleTV, definitely a nice option. I think I still need to do a
lot of reading up though. There's just so many different ways I can set
this up. You gotta love the flexibility MythTV gives you.<br>
