Quote: What are people using for a HTPC, both front end (sits under TV) and backend (just storage?)? Is it primarily MythTV and hacked X-Boxes?
I use a single box, in a shop-built cabinet that holds up the widescreen TV. It runs Myth (front & back), and powers on/off automatically as required, to record shows and update it's electronic program guide (EPG).
It has dual analog (NTSC) receivers and dual digital (ATSC) receivers, all wired up to a pair of outdoor antennas for over-the-air (OTA) reception. The antennas reside on a 35' tower attached to the house.
Two 320GB SATA drives (RAID0) provide sufficient storage for now. I have plans (and drives) to replace those with 750GB SATA drives.
Cheers
