Why?

Why replace the set-top-box with something you make yourself?
  • The TWC set-top-box interface leaves something to be desired
  • Record 4 (or more) channels at once instead of 2
  • Much more configurable
  • No longer need to pay HD DVR or set-top-box rental fees (~$20 per month per box)
  • Features like whole-home DVR are free
It's not without cons though:
  • Need a $200 TV Tuner
  • Need a Windows 7 machine running 24*7 to replace the set-top-box
  • Lots of work to setup
