Once you've set up the backend, you have no reason to really be on the backend. All functionality for scheduling and such is done through either a frontend or MythWeb. If you have a really crappy 10mb hub, you might have a problem with latency, but even then I doubt it. I'm not sure what emulator plugin you're talking about, other than the ds filters for playing nuv files on Windows (aka WinMyth). > Or would it better for me to install the frontend and > backend on the same computer? wich means for me > to spend extra money on buying a silent computer. The backend is where the tuners are. That's it. If you have a need for complete quiet, then putting the frontend and backend in the same machine will cost you a lot of money. Or, you'll be searching for deals on quiet hard drives, quiet fans, heat pipes, etc... > Hope there are some people out there who can clear a > few things up for me, regarding the frontend. This is list full of opinions. You choose which ones are worthwhile to listen to. My setup consists of: mediamvp in my bedroom Frontend in the kitchen Frontend in the family room combined frontend/backend in the media room backend in the utility room I have a single tuner (pvr-150) in the backend with lots of drive space (about 2tb of space). I have another server with another 1.5tb of space for ripped DVDs, mounted to all frontends. The combined frontend/backend has 2 tuners (2 pvr-250s) and an hd tuner (pchdtv3k) and does all its recording to the master backend, but has a small 20gb drive because I'm too stupid to figure out how to nfs mount it ;-). I love myth. I just wish I had more time to get the frontend/backend machine to be aware of the other backend. Maybe some day soon I'll dive back in a figure out what I did wrong. Paul
