No, only 2+2+2, for a total of 5 disks as of now.  I could have used the 
onboard SATA, but as it is the system is crammed with old 80 GB drives that 
were "leftovers" from my main fileserver upgrade. And I'm not going to buy 
new 80GB SATA disks obviously, as 160 or 250 GB drives are much more 
economical.

My fileserver has 590 GB storage, but not my mythtv box.  One has gotta set 
priorities... ;)

I'm still at 0.14 too.
There is a lot of useful info. :-)  I'll try those quality settings, for 
instance.

But I see there that you have a 2-card backend using "dumb" capturecards.
How does that work ?  [How] Does your CPU manage that ?
