Title says it all!
I'm currently paying $20 a month to rent a two channel DVR box from my cable company, and recently I've been considering building my first budget HTPC. This will not be used for gaming, but simply to replace my DVR.
First question: What do I need aside from a decent PC and TV tuner card?
Next: How difficult is something like this be to set up? I've heard about Freevo and other software to mimic a DVR but I can't find any step by step instructions to creating a DVR PC. Are there any A to Z guides for complete noobs like me?
Any help GREATLY appreciated!!
