If you're thinking about having the myth box in a different room, that's
fairly easy.  My current setup is a mythtv backend with 2 Hauppage
PVR 150 cards in it that sits in my computer closet.  I have front ends
configured on my Kubuntu desktop, my MacBook, my wife's MacBook,
and the XBox hooked up to one of our TVs.  Since mythtv is built by
default with a client server architecture, this is very simple to do (all
you really have to do is make sure that mysql isn't bound only to
localhost).

I know several LUG members have them and have expressed
great delight in them.

Cheers,
Tanner
