Project Overview
This project is fairly complex and definitely not cheap if you’re starting from
scratch, but will result in an HTPC with many features not currently sup-
ported by any of the commercially available PVRs. Here’s what this HTPC
will offer:
Free programming guide.
Nonproprietary file format allows easy video editing. Permanently
remove advertising from your recorded shows!
Ability to archive to SVCD or DVD.
Ability to watch video files from other sources with automatic metadata
lookups.
Figure 7-1. Conceptual diagram of the main HTPC components.
Part II: Home Entertainment
