I wonder who that person at work could be ;-) I like the BBCode window, i've seen that before somewhere too :-)
Anyway I was posting to say try MythTV under linux. I had it on a Shuttle box for about a year a loved it, I only stopped using it when I got my Topfield TF5800 PVR. I can always help you out with MythTV or Ubuntu...
