Thanks for the information - I Currently don't have a High Def TV (Nor do I have any plans to buy one soon - Though I wish I was ;-)), so my first myth front end is going to be a non HDTV using the SVGA out on the M10000 board. Long term, I'll probobly build another front end when get a High Def TV, and use the non HDTV for other rooms in the house with non HDTV. Thanks for the tips !

As was mentioned, the VIA EPIA M10000 is supported. However, you may want to answer a few more questions before you decide on a particular board. Two questions come to mind. (1) What resolution is your MPEG2 video? In particular, do you want to play HDTV quality MPEG2? If so, then you will need a board with the CN400 (e.g., VIA EPIA SP8000E, VIA EPIA SP13000, Commell LV-667), because boards with the CLE266 (e.g., VIA EPIA M10000) cannot decode HTDV quality MPEG2. (2) How do you plan to connect to your television? All boards have VGA output. The VIA EPIA M10000 has S-Video that is supported by the drivers. The VIA EPIA SP8000E and the VIA EPIA SP13000 have S-Video for which preliminary support has just been added to the drivers. The Commell LV-667T has Component for which partial support is available through a patch to the drivers. The Commell LV-667D has DVI-D for which there is no driver support. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
