I have not even chosen the hardware I want yet, so feel free to chime in with any recommendations. This PVR box is also going to be a simple file server for backing up data. I'm going with Linux so I don't need to purchase an OS. While I know a little about Linux, I don't know about the PVR software. Is one of these projects better supported than the other or more full featured? If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.
