[mythtvnz] Just how cheap could you build a system? Possibly OT.

[McVicker, Brian (NZ - Auckland)]

I built my system 'on the cheap' using an ex-lease box ($60) + tuner ($130) + graphics ($120?) + additional hard drives ($220). It still cost me around $500 - $600 which is twice as much as what the wife thinks it did! 
Money well spent though.

I've been thinking about what my Dad will do when the analogue switch off occurs. I suspect it's not possible to build a reliable dual tuner DVB-T system at a price comparable to the commercial PVRs. Any comments?

If I'm right and he/we starts looking for a commercial PVR to replace the VCR, any thoughts on good boxes? Seems many are quite flaky.
