[mythtv-users] Can mythtv handle two dumb capture cards?

[Adam Bown]

Ah, I'm glad you pointed that out, I thought I was going mad.  While I'm no
expert, I wasn't imagining the increased disk activity that seemed inversely
proportional to the strength of my signal and crippled my machine.

That is, at the very least, a very misleading statement.  If not plain
untrue. 
While it is correct that mythbackend does not log per se, one look at the 
included runlevel start script will confirm that mythbackend WILL log :

  daemon --user ${MBE_USER} ${MBE_LOCATION}${MBE_PROG} -d -l ${MBE_LOGFILE}

So unless you disable this logging by altering the default included start 
script, mythbackend will log everything, despite what you're saying.
