Steps Towards Home-Built DVR
When I was in California, I managed to come across a free ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card, so now I’m that much closer to building my DVR. I already had my PC downstairs by the TV for my wife to use while I was out of town, and I got that configured and ready to go today.
And then I decided to check out Eric’s blog… He’s dragging me toward geekdom with his post on linux. My company wants our tech folks to become more familiar with Linux, and I’ve wanted to play with it for personal reasons, but needed a decent project to push me down that path. So I think my PVR is now going to be a linux PVR, killing two birds with one stone.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my boss to pay for this card as a “training aid”…
