I have been lurking around reading this list for some time now. The Myth TV bug has bitten now and I would like to build a machine on a budget.
I live in Melbourne and should receive the free to air DVB channels in my area. My plan is to not upgrade my existing TV so I am not interested in meeting HDTV specs. My aim is to use 2 of the DVB cards to receive the SD digital channels and play them via RF TV out. I do have an old box collecting dust that may cut it as a backend Plan A Use my old box, P3-600 with 600meg ram as a backend and build a front end with an Xbox ? Will an xbox handle SD live / recorded video ? Will a P3-600 be able to keep up recording / serving SD content ? Plan B I purchase a new PC to setup a front and backend in one box. What spec would be the minimum to handle Australian SD channels? Currently I plan to install with Gentoo _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
