Hi All,
I've been looking around and can't seem to find the info i'm
looking for so
maybe someone can help. I have a server setup with the mythtv backend
and have
2 pvr-250 cards in it; I also have two separate frontend units each
with a
wintv-go card in them. What i want to do is to have recordings only
occur on
the two pvr-250 cards in the server, I want the two cards in the
frontends to
be used as a local tuner for that frontend only. Does that make sense?
The
reasoning behind this is because if the cards in the frontends start
recording
then the frontend becomes really slow and sometimes locks-up. So i
only want
the cards in the server to do the recording, and the cards in the
frontends for
tv viewing only for that specific frontend. Is this possible? Thanks
in advance
for any help you guys could offer!
It sounds like the frontends are not beefy enough to handle software
encoding even for recording, so LiveTV using the cards in the frontend
is probably out of the question as well.
As I'm thinking about it, another option would be to swap. Put the
PVR-250s into the frontends where hardware encoding can happen and move
the BTTV cards into the backend which may have the juice to do dual
recordings (my athlon 2000 can do it).
