[mythtv-users] Zotac ION + HD-PVR 1212: FE/Master BE or FE/Slave BE?

[Eric N]

I'm planning my first MythTV setup with an HD-PVR 1212 already
purchased.  I have searched the mailing list archives and some users
have reported success using the zotac ion with intel atom processor as
a combined FE/BE if you do not plan on comm flagging multiple shows at
one time and have one capture device.  I will have a fileserver and
general use pc in my office that could perform some of the tasks of
the BE.  Which would be easiest to set up while offloading the most
cpu intensive process to the office pc: zotac as FE/master BE and pc
as slave BE or zotac as FE/slave BE and pc as master BE?  I have read
that the master BE expects at least one capture device in past
versions of Myth, but is that still true for 0.22?

I am looking at a zotac ion A-U with dual core atom processor and I
would throw in 4 GB ram.
