I used Gentoo, rather than KnoppMyth, and haven't yet added an HDTV tuner card. So far, it's fantastic, and I'm left wondering why I ever paid TiVo $12.95/month, just to have them kow-tow to broadcasters objecting to fair use. It was actually a post on this blog a while ago (the one showing the Daily Show on the Treo, right after the new iPod announcements) that finally got me going on this project. It was just too cool not to copy. :) I'll be tinkering with automatic PSP transcoding soon... I’ve just this afternoon gotten my own MythTV setup going.
