The hard part is getting required features
5 years ago
It’s easy to build a Linux-based PVR. Harder to do something at a reasonable cost w/ the desired featureset:
- component video
- digital coax and spdif, 6 channel analog preferred as well (Envy24 based card?)
- gigE ethernet
- graphic VFD screen (the Noritake GU126×32F-K612A4 is a sweet screen that fits in a 5.25” bezel)
- quiet, good looking case (preferrably smaller, consumer device type form factor, but may have to compromise if nothing is available w/ other features)
- remote control
Ideally, fit in my home theater rack and not be noticed. Not requiring much dremeling would be nice.
