[mythtv-users] New MythTV Project

Good point.  I definitely want to view / record all channels since I subscribe to premium and sports channels, but the DVR is not required.  So, given these considerations, I plan on replacing the existing HD DVR with an HD STB.

Folks,

I've dabbled with MythTV some time ago, and loved it.  Now, I want to build a box completely from scratch to truly exploit it.  I am building from scratch, and looking for purchase recommendations to integrate with existing Verizon FIOS HD-DVR.  I am not bound by anything that I currently own and am looking for components that will work well together and will run under Ubuntu.  I'm willing to build piecemeal or purchase the system as a package.  A dual tuner system would be nice, but not necessary.  It is more important to me that I would be able to get rid of my existing FIOS HD DVR than to be able to record two channels at once.  

I appreciate all input and suggestions, as I am looking to start building the system in the next couple of weeks after ordering all components.  

You say you want to integrate with your STB and get rid of your STB.  Which is it?  Note that if you want to record any channels >= 50 (excepting OTA HD channels that FIOS carries) from Verizon FIOS, you will need a STB (not necessarily the DVR STB).
