I think I found it from byopvr after trying out MythTV, Meedio and beyond for 3 months - then decided anything with .net plugins must be fun.

It wasn't until this thread that I really though about how may forks the road had.
I was aware of PVR devices like the Topfield and wanted one when a friend told me about how the new xbox was part of Bill's plan to take over everything we did by offering media centre functions. I was going to buy a second hand chipped xbox and launch into xbmc but was concerned about flexibility and decided against it. Not really a gamer either. I was about to start down the path of Windows MCE, when I heard about MythTV. But was put off by Linux. (cryptic syntax - hate, hate, hate - i.e. don't understand Linux :mad: ) Looked in to Medio briefly... But I Googled for some alternatives.....and here I am.  Topfield > Xbox360 > xbmc > mce > MythTV > Medio > GBPVR
