PVR setup for the entire neighborhood.

From I, Cringely (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040930.html):
Yeah, but what about that wireless TV? How does that work? Andrew's server runs Myth TV, an Open Source digital video recorder application, storing on disk in MPEG-4 format (1.5-2 megabits-per-second) more than 30,000 TV episodes, movies and MP3 music files. "As each new user comes online, I add another TV card to the system so they can watch live TV," ...We've reached the point now where the PVR has so much in storage already that it is set to simply record anything that isn't already on disk.

Is it just me or does that whole article seem just a bit far fetched. I tried googling for more info about this and don't seem to turn anything up.

I dunno though, I mean parts of it don't seem that far-fetched. I guess it's just the geek in me going ... "Boy, I wanna do that.." ;)


But realistically, the hardware alone probably costs more than I make a year.. :(
