An Australian company is selling pre-built MythTV-based PVRs for 1,799 AUD (~$1,345.50 USD) (via Boing Boing)

Although the price is roughly twice what it cost me to build my own MythTV box, I think this is a good trend.

There’s some excellent threads regarding this box on /. and the Myth-Users mailing list.
