<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Brian</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was not looking to claim the idea as mine, having posted a
link where someone else had given some thought to it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I think the Myth frontend might be customised to work on TiVo
somehow. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What I was hoping to do was stimulate some interest in someone
with the skills helping out. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thinking about this some more, if one could, for example, run
up Ubuntu on the TiVo box then one would be almost there!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Seems to me someone with the right skills could do this quite
easily. Sadly that is not me, yet anyways.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I think S1 TiVo's (with a NIC eg Cachecard added) could
make great SD MythTV front-end. (HD - probably not?) Just
like an XBox, MediaMVP etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are lots of them around.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The remote seems the best in the business so all the
hardware is there. The tuners would presumably become obsolete in this
role. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These boxes are quiet. It might even be possible to
quieten them even more by replacing the HDD with Solid state media.
(Even do without by downloading OS off the server - probably need something
small to initiate this however?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are many TiVo users who are likely to move to MythTV
at some point. This would be a great way to re-cycle the
hardware!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Seems I am not the first to think of this!
