I'm in Australia and thinking of going digital. I have 2 BT8x8 analogue cards now which works well. I was going to replace one of these with a digital BT8x8 card (something like a VisionPlus which people have reported as easy to get working and good quality). Before I do this I have some questions:
1) Is it OK to have 1 analogue card + 1 digital card in the same backend? 2) Do digital BT8x8 cards chew up CPU? I know the analogue ones do, but I thought that the digital cards just wrote the incoming MPEG2 stream straight to disk which would mean very little CPU required. Am I right or delusional? 3) Will playback of MPEG2 require more CPU than playback of my existing MPEG4 recordings? 4) Will there be issues writing digital MPEG2 + analogue MPEG4 recordings to disk simultaneously? I saw a thread about overloading the PCI bus or something. Anything else I should worry about? Thanks, Phill _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
