HD-PVR

I'm putting together an HD PVR based around MythTV and the HD-3000 card. It'll be able to do Off-Air ATSC recording and normal Cable Recording (if I had cable). I had to order the case, motherboard and a cooling fan for the CPU, but the rest are part from older machines. Here's the spec's:
  • Pentium 4 2.4 GHz Northwood Socket 478 533MHz FSB
  • 1 GB DDR 333, PC2700 RAM
  • pcHDTV HD-3000
  • ATI Radeon 9800 All In Wonder (DVI out)
  • Abit IS7 Motherboard
    • On-board IEEE 1394
    • On-board Optical SPD/IF in/out
  • Silverstone LC10B-M Case
  • 700GB of Storage!
    • 1 x 20GB Western Digital (WDC WD205AA) HDD
    • 2 x 200GB Seagate (ST3200822A) HDD
    • 1 x 160GB Maxtor (Maxtor 6Y160P0) HDD
    • 1 x 120GB Western Digital (WDC WD1200JB-00EVA0) HDD
I plan on following these instructions on assembling a MythTV. The parts should be in by friday. All I need to do now is to buy an Antenna that can get most of the off-air stations in Dallas. I've been warned not to get the "StealthAntenna" as the design was misimplemented and is not able to get good reception in the suburbs.
