[mythtv-users] 0.25 on mac-mini

[Sean Whitney]

The hardware hasn't changed.  The backend is a beefy ubuntu server with
two AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+.  I haven't touched
the HD-PVR since I updated the firmware.  The only thing that changed
was the upgrade on the frontend and backend to 0.25 and the playback
profiles associated with 0.25.
