Now, I want to build a box completely from scratch to truly exploit it. I am building from scratch, and looking for purchase recommendations to integrate with existing Verizon FIOS HD-DVR. I am not bound by anything that I currently own and am looking for components that will work well together and will run under Ubuntu. I'm willing to build piecemeal or purchase the system as a package. A dual tuner system would be nice, but not necessary. It is more important to me that I would be able to get rid of my existing FIOS HD DVR than to be able to record two channels at once. <br>
<br>I appreciate all input and suggestions, as I am looking to start building the system in the
next couple of weeks after ordering all components. </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You say you want to integrate with your STB and get rid of your STB. Which is it? Note that if you want to record any channels >= 50 (excepting OTA HD channels that FIOS carries) from Verizon FIOS, you will need a STB (not necessarily the DVR STB).</div>
