It's software that turns a PC into a DVR ("Tivo" etc.). Very cool.

@Clod: How flexible is that software at searching for things that are/aren't scheduled to run, and queueing them to record if/when that occurs?

sounds cool, but why not just use a dvr? computers are more expensive than the dvr so cost isn't the issue is it?

Don't feel badly. I'm very into technology and this is the first I'm hearing of it. After doing a bit of research on it, I like it a lot. If I hadn't just paid for another year of Tivo ($139), I'd build one of those myself. Heck I might anyway just for fun. It looks like the fee for the MythTV scheduling stuff (Schedules Direct) is $20/year. Much cheaper.
