[The attraction of an open source equivalent to TiVO is that may drive demand
for bandwidth as users share and swap recorded TV files with the distributed
architecture used by these devices. Excerpts from Wired magazine article - BSA]

Thanks to several open-source projects, you can build your own digital video
recorder that will blow boxes from TiVo and ReplayTV right off the shelf.
About a dozen collaborative software projects are in the works that will
transform a spare computer, or one built from off-the-shelf parts, into a
homemade digital video recorder, or DVR. They also can record multiple shows
simultaneously, archive shows to video CD, play digital music and computer
games and display photographs and local weather forecasts.
Thanks to the combined expertise of about half a dozen hackers from all over
the world, the project is close to assembling a complete software package for
homemade DVRs. Version 0.9 of the MythTV software is due out next week.
Based on Linux, the free software features an easy-to-use graphical interface,
which can be navigated with a standard remote.
The MythTV software offers all the basic DVR features -- it can pause and
rewind live TV, and fast-forward through shows and ads. It supports multiple
tuner cards (and multiple simultaneous recordings) and boasts
picture-in-picture capability if there's more than one tuner card installed. It
also offers basic video-editing capabilities and allows shows to be archived to
video CD.
MythTV grabs programming information from the Net using XMLTV, an open-source
project that scrapes television listings off the TV Guide website.
For example, Raffi Krikorian, author of a forthcoming book called TiVo Hacks,
is planning to build a MythTV DVR from scratch that will record two shows at
the same time, store about 250 hours of programming, play DivX movies
downloaded from the Net and archive shows to video CD. The DVR also will record
radio and play MP3, Ogg Vorbis and other audio formats, while grabbing free
programming information from the Web.
MythTV has a nifty distributed architecture that allows multiple machines to
work in concert, recording and streaming shows to each other over a network.
There are about a dozen home-brew DVR projects, all based on Linux. Others
include Freevo, eBox and the Dave/Dina Project. Krikorian said MythTV was
probably the most complete and up-to-date. A list of the projects can be found
at the Linux PVR Depot, which also maintains a database of the hardware used by
various people.
