Moving toward the MythDVR going forward.  I am watching this thread with GREAT interest since I don't want to give up my HD if at all possible but to have a DVR that I can watch the shows in "other" locations is the new focus.

With all of the transition to HD in a short time coupled with the hassle 
of controlling a converting box, it would make sense to me to just pay a 
little more for the HD cards..

My Mythbackend has 2 -  150's  and a PCHD3000. I don't have an HD TV but 
I wanted to get the OTA channels not on Time Warner Cable.  The new 
5500's are out and are a little cheaper.  If I were building one now, 
I'd go straight to the hd cards. 
 
Also, -IMO-I'm not too fond of the remote that came with the 150 so I'm 
thinking about getting a harmony or using my nokia 770 or something.
