Getting rid of cable TV part 2

So I'm continuing to work on getting rid of Comcast TV.  A bit more web searching found some interesting information.  First off here's a couple of useful youtube videos.







They mention a couple of useful pieces of software including xbmc and mythTV.  Since I've got a couple of old PCs that are able to run Ubuntu this seems like a plausible place to start.   Interestingly, xbmc has a number of plugins.  There's also an interesting hack to a nettop box here.  And finally an interesting VGA to HDMI here.
