Comments: Homebrew PVR put together using mp1e (for recording in MPEG1), mplayer (for playback), xmltv (for program schedules), at (for scheduling), mencoder (for conversion to MPEG4), Xdialog (for user interface), X10 remote and Perl.

Have it set up as a distributed system. My mainDuron 800MHz server serves as the backend and takes care of recording and scheduling. Although I can run the frontend user interface on it, I rarley do since it is not connected to a TV. A 300 MHz Pentium II in the living room is connected to the TV through an ATI Radeon 7000 and the user interface running on it is controlled thorugh an X10 RF remote. This machine accesses the recorded content on the server over NFS. An Athlon XP 1700 laptop in the bedroom is similiarly set up except for the TV-out.

User interface (through keyboard/mouse or X10 RF remote) allows watching Live TV, browsing program information, scheduling recordings, watching recorded shows. Editing of recordings (mainly for commercial removal) and conversion to MPEG4 (to conserve space) are done offline on the Duron server. The server also has a CD/DVD burner for archiving programs.

Software and user interface also allow browsing and playback of music (using xmms) and browsing and viewing of digital photos (using Compupic). TV programs can be browsed by channel, by catgeory or by a manullay entered 'Favorites' list.

MPEG1 recording is done at 2300Kbps at 336x240 resolution. Offline conv"
