Independance Day…

Today is Independence Day, the day we told the red coats to leave… then all sh*t broke loose.

In that spirit, I am declaring independence from my old Via micro-ATX based Myth TV box and switching over some similar function to the PS3 (I know I’ve said it before, but I’m doing it this time).

There are plenty of howtos and articles out there to get it all set up, but I’m more interested in getting it to act like a slingbox. I have a dual tuner DVR from my satellite company that I can feed a dedicated input into the PS3. From there, I can encode TV, store it on a network share, and make it available to my other computers at home and on the internet.

Got my USB TV tuner card on order.  So I’ll keep you all posted on my progress and post up a full howto when I’ve got it running.

I’ll probably not use Myth TV, and just make some hacked frontend to do what I want.  If anyone has any suggestions, now’s the time to speak up.
