And how.
I make myth setups for friends and family, once they have used it they 
never go back.
1x decent backend with a few tuners and a fair whack of hard drive (a 
few 500gb drives will make myth happy and spread the load (w00t myth .21 
upgrade a week ago all seems well except for a few load spikes, but that 
might be vmwares fault)) stick that at your antenna and wireless/wired 
lan out to some mini-itx diskless frontends for playback.

Nifty web interface and as a bonus it'll skip the commercials for you 
with about 80%-90% accuracy and the only false positive it has is the 
end of the simpsons :-<
