One site that is particularly helpful for Linux PVR users is the PVR Hardware Database, which is a community-driven WIKI that includes a comprehensive hardware/software configuration database. It’s very useful for people trying to decide which hardware to buy to build a MythTV or Freevo box. Much of the success to building a functional Linux DVR is finding someone else who has done it before and has posted it up on a web page, and PVR Hardware Database is a good place to start.

Since the last time I looked at the site, it has grown a lot as a resource, including some great links to install guides for both MythTV and Freevo. It’s a great resource and we’ll be adding it to my links section under MythTV.
