There has been a fair bit of talk today on the new Archos 5 Android.
I noticed that it has some DVR software and hardware that can be used
to capture video.  Looking at the image of its DVR-dock on Amazon, it
appears to have component-in (though it does not appear to support
digital audio in).  You can see the image here:

Does anyone know if this will effectively function like a HD-PVR and
record from component inputs?  While I'm not sure exactly how it could
be structured as a capture card into MythTV -- especially because it
would probably be difficult to get it to store the video anywhere
other than locally.  However, it might be worth investigating as it's
only about $100 more than the HD-PVR and gives you a bunch of other
functionality as well, including portable playback.
