I think you're misinterpreting the results on this list. If you use a PVR-x50, you should be fine. I myself had a system running 2 PVR-250's on a PII 400. I was able to record to channels at the default settings, and watch one at the same time. IT worked just fine, until I went to mythweb, then things started to grind. For HighDef, you can certain record on such a backend, but you need a high end machine to do the encoding.
