I hang out at a friend's place that uses MYTH software. It seems to work great for them. But they're pretty tech savvy. MYTH automatically records stuff, automatically finds stuff on the Internet if you want, theirs even automatically downloads teh current weather radar off the internet.

Sometimes there are minor bugs . . . the system freezes. They have it figrued out pretty well though.

They serve everything for their Myth off of several different computers. I don't really understand teh details. Anyway, it's legit -- and with a little tech know-how, it seems to be a great Tivo replacement.
