[mythtv-users] MythNewb Hardware Question

[Jack]

I currently have an HD DVR from Time Warner. It's terrible. It's time for a
change. I've been reading about MythTV for some time now: the faq, manual
and lots of archived threads. I'd really appreciate recommendations on what
I need.

I'd like to be able to save everything in HD. I think four tuners will
handle what we watch, only half of which is available OTA. I have a rig that
I'd like to use as backend, frontend (for now) and NAS:

     cpu: Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8Ghz, but it overclocks easily)
     mb: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2510<http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2510#sp>
)
     vid out: Gigabyte (Nidia) GTS450 1GB (Has a mini hdmi out)
     ram: 2GB

I need a capture device.
The not yet supported Ceton InfiniTV 4 seems like it would be perfect, but I
doubt my rudimentary Linux-fu and nonexistent knowledge of MythTV's innards
would somehow magically make it work. :) So, until the awesome guys that are
slaving away to make it work with MythTV conquer it, what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance,
~ Jack
