That's an awesome link.  I wish I had some coding ability to make that mod
to Myth.  They show many LEDS connected quite easily.  It would be nice to
put some LEDS up front, one per catpure card, and have them light up when
they are recording.  That would truely make it like a VCR, Tivo type
device :)

I sure hope someone out there has the know how to do that.
