Geno over at BoxGods, while trying to convince his wife to get a TiVo, came to the realization that maybe it wasn't exactly the way to go. Over the next few weeks, he'll be publishing articles that'll get you going with your own HTPC that's subscription fee-free. He's calling it the MeVo. Cute.

"Days later, in a fancy restaurant just outside of Best Buy, I tell my wife how cool TiVo is. By the look on her face, I can tell this is going to be a tough sell. This is the same look she shot me when I bought four cases of pork & beans."
