[proboarder123456789]

what about dish dvr thats what i got and it works good

[khulse70]

MythTV certainly has more features and more hackability.

If you are only interested in something that is an "appliance", then certainly a Tivo is the way to go.

Ive owned a TIVO series 1 for 8 years, Used Windows Media Center, Used Linux MCE, Archos AV720 and of course my brighhouse DVR. By the far the best one for stability and functionality has been my TIVO. the Archos was cool as it was a pocket device and could record TV and be watched back on TV or on the inbuilt screen. Brighthouse scientific atlanta DVR sucks. Check out my posts on examples of just how bad

not sure what u using but video quality sucks...so i guess before helping others u should fix your own ?

If you have a TeraByte Pvr is good if you don't care about computers that much.

XBMC if you want your own MediaCenter/Pvr.

The best DVR or DVD recorede is one like the old VHS machime. Without turning the TV you can turn the VHS machime and togle up down channel and time on and off or just push a button for 30,60 ect minutes Not navagate through a bunch of menues. And my vhs can start instant unlike the DVD wait 40 seconds to scan the disc.
