DIY DVR
Over break I managed to build and configure my own DVR (Digital Video Recorder). I took a spare PC that I had laying around and installed a WinTV-PVR-150 TV tuner card into it. From there I just needed the software. After a little research and some testing I decided to go with SageTV. It was extremely easy to configure and it is even easier to use. It allows me to use all of the typical DVR functions such as pausing, recording, and rewinding live TV, configuring Favorites, and pulling down program information. Plus, I can watch content from Google Video, get weather information from The Weather Channel, and more importantly I can stream all of my shows across my intranet and across the Internet. Last, by not least, it offers plenty of room for future expansion. It is pretty impressive and definitely worth the cash.
