Not sure why the pics came out so blurry, we hadn't had that much to
drink..not yet at yet.  Needles to say everyone had a blast...as soon as we
diecided that Wrath of Kahn was by far the best Star Trek movie -

We got the box built and succesfull recorded two shows at once!  The weather
plug in and DVD watching on the montor was very cool.

The two things that did not work were the remote control and viewing the GUI
on the TV.  We think that the TV out was at a resolution the TV could not
handle.  I will be posting to the mythtv list to try to get some help.
Weird that the remotes did not work, there is a choice in the remote section
for the exact remote we had.

The main build night is Saturday the 25th starting at 4PM.  If you want to
see mythtv in action, or build you own you should come.  Here is a link to
the video capture card I purchased.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116625   This video
card worked right out of the box with mythtv.

I think as long as you had a PIII 800MHz you will be OK.  You can get mythtv
running on your regular box.

Please bring your favorite distro if you want to try to get mythtv running
on it.

Let me know if you are interested.

Aloha,
Matt
