I keep myself fairly well abreast of things like this, but the fact that Microsoft is finally going to sell the Media Center version of their operating system caught me completely by surprise. Feel free to hit up this preview of it over at Game PC, if you're curious - I've used the current version, and found it more than pleasant. Of course, as I mentioned in the "first post," I've already got a Tivo that does pretty much everything I need in a device like that. I might consider one of them fancy DVD Tivos, or "TeeVeeDees" as I have heard them called, but that's about it.
Something else I caught in that Game PC article - I guess I wasn't aware that the Linux DVR applications Freevo and MythTV were so sophisticated. Good lord. I could build one of those out of the shit I have in my closet.
