I'm not sure if this is the best forum to post this question, but here
goes.  I'm trying to get away from all the monthly cable and tivo
charges, so I'm thinking of the following solution:
1)  HDTV with OTA Antenna.
2)  Beyond TV Software.
I would like to be able to record shows in HD, and play them back on
my new HDTV.  I'm thinking of getting an aerial so I can watch OTA
(Over the Air) HDTV broadcasts.

I use a free program called GBPVR (www.gbpvr.com) to record digital
broadcasts with my two Hauppauge HVR-1600 tuner cards (www.hauppage.com). I
get my TV listings from a service called Schedules Direct
(schedulesdirect.org), which currently costs about $20 a year.

I record shows to my hard drive, then stream them over my home network to a
TViX M-4000P network media player (www.tvix.co.kr/eng/), which allows me to
watch the recorded shows on my 42" plasma in the living room.

I use an outdoor antenna with the digital half of my tuner cards, and
connected the analog half to my cable feed. I can record four shows at once
when needed (though I rarely need to record more than two at a time). There
were a few issues to work out early on, but it has been working very well
for the last few years.

Can you get these TV listings for free, so that Beyond TV (or Sage)
will be able to know when to record what? Beyond TV (or Sage) can
save these programs in HDTV format, correct? Thanks...
