Interesting to see the availability of pre-built MythTV boxes appearing in the US. I've recently put MythTV on an old workstation at home and hooked it up with a TV Tuner. It is working but could benefit from some faster hardware. This would be a great solution for non-IT style people. I'm sure someone will be offering it in Australia, if their isn't already.
If MythTV's promise of a free Windows Media Center alternative sounds exciting, but you can't quite bring yourself to navigate the trials of a Linux install on your own, then you might be interested in Monolith's pre-built Media Center PCs, which come with MythTV pre-installed on top of Ubuntu Linux. Models start at $650, and include a remote, an IRBlaster, and free electronic programming guide access -- none of those silly TiVo-style monthly fees.
