XBox as a DVR
I was wondering if there was anyway of turning my XBox into a dedicated DVR and adding something like Freevo or something similar. I know there are USB tuners out there but does anyone know if there are linux drivers for any of these tuners and if it can even be done. I dont care about playing games or anything else on it. I think going this route would be cheaper than buying another TIVO.

yeah, your probably right but the tivo is pretty weak too. I thought if TIVO units can handle it, so should the xbox. Oh well, I was just hoping.
