So its been a while... I've been finding that life seems to take precedence over typing. Anyhow, I've got a fully functional HTPC now, using the .24 stream of mythtv via mythbuntu. Works like a champ and although I haven't actually watched any of my shows, its recording gobs of them(thank goodness for cheap drive space). Took a bit longer than I thought to get things up and running the way I like in mythtv, but more or less got it running smoothly.
I also realized recently I'm going to need a wireless N router soon to stream much of this HD over my home network(removing any chance of playback lag), but fortunately a friend has an early model he's looking to get rid of so I'll see if that works for my needs. If possible I'll update it to the opensource dd-wrt.
Items still on my todo list, which will have to wait a bit longer are wall mount the TV, get a new entertainment center, and attic mount the antenna.
