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.

<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>
