[mythtv-users] My perfect HTPC

[Josu Lazkano]

Thanks George, I want to use it as backend/frontend and connect two
laptops as fronted.

I have actually have aASRock as backend/frontend and it works well, I
need an othe HTPC to add the DVB-S2 PCIe tunner.

The sound will be stereo, but I want to add on the future a DTS
capable receiver.

I want to know if the box and board combination are good for my DVB-S2 tunner.

Thanks and regards.
