<br>So, unlike GTALug'er Paul Mora who I gather has set-up<br>a 100% MythTV machine in his living room, my MythTV<br>box is expected to do multiple duties.</blockquote><div><br>My original intent was to have the MythTV box act as my Internet web server, music collection server, Samba server, email server (POP/IMAP) as well as do the TV duties.
<br><br>It may eventually get to that point. But the box has become somewhat "mission critical" in my house. Whenever I screw it up (as my dear wife says), I get in lots of trouble. So for right now, it is MythTV and nothing else.
<br><br>There's no reason why I couldn't run the other stuff there too... it basically sits there and does nothing. The CPU is barely used due to the dual Hauppauge cards doing all the compression/decompression in hardware.
<br><br>I am however contemplating building another one, perhaps as a client for upstairs on the second TV and making the main one the "backend server".<br><br></div></div>pm<br><br>-- <br>Paul Mora<br>email: <a href="mailto:paulmora-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org">
