[mythtv-users] can I go as low as 650 to 800 Mhz?

[Jason Richardson]

I am using a classic slot A athlon at 850 mhz to run mine. as yet i have
only been using it to record to divx from a bttv card (no live tv, looks
like crap on a bttv card anyway) and using freevo as a frontend. however
i just got a pvr-350 and do intend to use it for live tv now.
