I have this TV downstairs amazon.com/Sony-KP-51WS520-51-Inch-HD-Ready-Projection/dp/B0002S9FG0


I have a 32 inch SD TV upstairs.


I want to use my antenna for my locals and get rid of my 2 Comcast DVRs. So I need to build a machine that will be a DVR. I Also want to be able to watch what I record downstairs, upstairs.


Anyway to do that with a Mac?

EyeTV would do this. The software will let you share recordings with other Macs on the same network.

That's a partial solution. To view shows on the upstairs TV there needs to be either another mac there, or some other kind of device that can pluck shows from his downstairs mac. I'm not sure, but I think an appleTV, xbox, popcorn hour or similar would do the trick (with the right hacks).

True, if you don't have 2 macs, you will need a 2nd device for playback. No need for hacks, just setup a UPnP server on the mac. (Like the eyeconnect software below),and then use a PS3, 360 or any device that can see UPnP.
