First time posting to this list. I've recently been looking at
requirements for a new MythTV box for HD. I currently tune HD with a
cable converter, but may be switching to ATSC soon. My TV lacks a
builtin HD tuner. After the various cookbooks/guides/howtos/FAQs, I
still have several questions before I start plunking down $ for
hardware.
What I'm shooting for is live TV (HD) capability while capturing
another HD signal (with lossless transcoding to remove commercials if
feasible).
Video Card:
Video card will be connecting to DVI-D input of an LCD TV, so I think
I'm looking at GeForce FX 5200 or similar.
Frontend/backend:
I'm leaning toward frontend/backend setup to keep drive/fan noise in
living room at a minimum.
Any idea approximately what kind of network thruput would be required?
The back of the envelope type network calculations in the MythTV
Howto looked to be for non-HD. The captured files would be shared
over NFS unless there is some other recommendation.
