Systm - MythTV

Well, another episode of Systm is out, and this time they check out MythTV. If you've always wanted a TIVO (which runs Linux, btw), but enjoyed tinkering yourself, and didn't want to pay the annual subscription fee, check out this video. I know Carl would like to see it, if only he weren't on dialup.

I've given thought to building my own MythTV box or Freevo box. It would be a fun project, but I just don't see it happening any time soon. Of course I would just have to go with DVI, Audigy, and IR remote, but all those fun toys add money. I've never used a TIVO, but I have used Windows Media Center (took me 2 minutes in the local FutureShop to crash Media Center), and I think that Linux-based systems can kick the pants off of the Win MCE. The MAME plugin for MythTV alone kicks butt (playing thousands of old arcade games on your television).

Why, oh why, doesn't systm have an RSS so that I can be notified of the next episode?
