I think I'd rather just make my own MythTV box than buy something from
China.. I have my old desktop box, which would probably work fine..
actually, I think it has a tuner card in it, don't remember what it is

I remember an installfest a few years back, out in Woodstock, they did
setup a tuner... well, maybe it was 10 years ago:)
