I would think that the 400mhz proc is either based on you using a
hardware encoder or mpeg1 @ 320x240. Plus I doubt it would fare that
well if you tried to encode and plyaback at the same time. Freevo and
MythTV don't set the processor requirements, the codecs, codec options
and resolution you encode at do.

I have read up on Freevo and Myth.  The only advantage that freevo has
over myth is that it seems to run using less processor power.  It claims
you can run it on about a 400 Mhz processor, and what i have seen for
specs on most machines here is around 1 Ghz or higher is required.
Going with the lower end processor would quite the system down because
it would require less to cool it which is where most of the noise comes
from.  Would this seem about right?  

Myth seems to have more functionality when it comes to the live tv
portion but I wonder what Freevo has along the lines for capturing
resolution.  All it says is it needs a faster processor for higher
resolution, which could mean 1 ghz.  Good to see there is somewhat sound
competition for Myth,
competition breeds better products
