Hey folks, I'm putting together some ideas for a DVR and I had some questions that I hope you all can answer for me.
I had thought to use MythTV, since that's what everyone seems to have used in the past. But recent articles in various computer magazines have made no mention of MythTV, while they have mentioned Kodi (formerly XBMC). The reviews all seem positive, but I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with Kodi to compare with experience with MythTV? What are the pros/cons of each? I am fairly certain that MythTV supports multiple tuners recording different channels at the same time. Does Kodi? Which is easier to work with? Does either support a higher maximum number of tuners than the other? Also, on the hardware front, what's the maximum number of tuners anyone has ever had in a single DVR? I've heard of cards with four tuners on them. Has anyone ever, say had two of those cards at once? Or otherwise had more than four tuners? I'm curious about that. And what level of CPU would realistically be considered minimum for something like this? How many threads would realistically be needed to record multiple programs? I appreciate any answers that you can provide. --- Dan (new address, since my old ISP went belly up and took all the login credentials for my old gmail account with them) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
