I had bad luck with an Abit NF7 (nForce2) board. I was using it on my backend and had system freezes frequently (hard lock). It ended up being the PVR-250 cards and/or the ivtv drivers. Once I removed them the NF7 has been rock solid as a front-end and the tuner cards have been working fine in an ECS motherboard (SIS chipset) on my backend. > I read through everything else and I thank you for your > suggestions/experiences.

She loves the Via EPIA frontend I installed in the bedroom a few weeks ago so much that she has given me the go ahead to axe the Tivo on the main TV :) One really nice side effect of Myth is that it is handling TV/DVD/MP3/CD she no longer has to mess around with selecting different inputs on the TV and receiver so things have gotten alot simpler for her.
