LifeHacker: Build your own DVR
Yesterday Adam Pash at LifeHacker posted an article on building your own DVR. In it he gives a brief overview of why he wanted to build his own versus buying a TiVo. His answer (like many others) is that he wanted more flexibility than TiVo could provide.
The article goes on to give a quick write up of some of the components that he needed as well as the software to do the actual DVR dirty work. Adam decided that the money was worth it to go with SageTV and he gives his reasons why. He also gives a short list called Extending SageTV where he goes on to describe some of the tweaks and features that he uses the most.
Overall it’s a decent article to give an overview of what to expect if you go down the do it yourself road. Be sure to check out the comments as there is also a wealth of information in there.
