Before I try this, I thought that I would ask and see if anyone has tried this.
I have a Hauppauge PVR250, which is a PCI card that does video encoding in hardware, and I am wondering if my Ultra 10 (with a 333 MHz processor) has enough horsepower to function as a MythTV backend. I run the U10 headless. I would watch video on another (hopefully quieter) machine over 100 mbit wired ethernet or wifi g. I see that the gentoo people have built the ivtv drivers and mythtv for sparc, so this should be do-able for me on debian. I have built ivtv for x86-32 a couple of times. I Some questions, off the top of my head: 0. Is anyone doing this? 1. Any tips? 2. Do I need to upgrade to a recent 2.6 kernel for the ivtv drivers? 3. Can I still run sarge? 4. Any debs? marillat seems to have sparc mythtv packages, but only for sid.
