Finally! after a bit of reading here its working GREAT!

Had to do the typical R5A16 stuff ("update-rc.d lirc defaults") to get the remote working as well as update the path for mplayer in the video section, plus the other stuff so DVD's work properly.

Here's the specs:

Abit A7N (nforce 4 chipset)
AMD 64 3200+
512MB DDR400
40GB WD HD (ide)
60GB WD HD (ide)
160GB WD HD (ide)
LG DVD/RW (+/-)
2 Hauppage PVR 250's
Matrox Mystique PCI videocard (blah.. puke.. can't afford a PCI-E card yet)
Sony 1271 CRT Front Projector (120" diagonal screen)

Impressions and performance:

Awesome.. i mainly use it for movies and ripping my movie collection to the HD so they're easily accessible. TV is lacking and there's not much I want to watch which is unfortunate because i've got 2 tuners now. It seems the old matrox card can't really handle 720P and 1080i video being thrown at it.. it drops frames in the HD stuff. Eventually i'll replace it with an Nvidia 6600GT

Kudo's to Cecil and Dale :)
