Y'all, I'm considering getting into MythTV. Rather than RTFM (boring), I'd like to ask a few newbie questions here (way more fun):
To what extent is HDTV supported? What cards are recommended, and can I still record plain old NTSC with them? Will the cards work in conjunction with a digital or analog cable box, or in place of one? How fast a machine do I need? How much RAM, what kind of video card (ATI / NVidia / onboard VIA) do I need? What are the chances of a pre-broadcast flag card being strategically obsoleted by Big Brother later on? How user-friendly is the front end, or are there aftermarket tools to play recorded shows that I'd want to end up using instead of MythTV?
