Open Source DVR - Linux Based Monolith Challenges TiVo

Why bother with a TiVo or Windows Multimedia PC when you can build an HD DVR that lets you ignore DRM copywrite codes and record anything you want? The open sourced DVR systems runs on linux and can easily be modified.

A/V geeks and open source hackers alike are sure to fall in love with the MonolithMC HD DVR system, which runs the Linux based MythTV platform. The system “one-ups” TiVo by waiving monthly fees and completely ignoring DRM codes that limit what shows you can save. Not only that but the Monolith is also capable of running all kinds of open-source plugins, including weather reports and jukeboxes. Take that TiVo! (gobloggit)
