[mythtv-users] Advice before buying a dedicated MythTV system.

[Richard Bronosky]

Also, I choose to spend $30 extra dollars to get an HD with 16MB cache
rather than 8MB cache.  I want to be able to record 3 SD streams and
playback a DVD's Video_TS folder at the same time.  Is this possible? 
Will the extra cache help?
