Assuming this is correct, do you know if anyone has attempted to or accomplished installing MythTV on a TiVO box? I see this as an opportunity to buy an old 20 or 30 GB TiVO, increase the hard drive to a 250GB, install MythTV, and have the ultimate PVR. This assumes that the Linux hardware drivers are already installed, since TiVO is a Linux box. Just a thought, William Bryant Ho,
