Have started mulling over the parts I need for my first MythTV box.
Wish list includes:

- DVB-T is a must
- I want to watch and schedule recording of programs (time shifting is
paramount)
- I want it to be quiet
- It must not look like a PC
- I want to be able to KB, Mouse and channel surf from the couch
- Box will be a dedicated single box
