[mythtv-users] Suggested Settings for Separate Frontend

Well ... got the hardware built and the apps installed on my separate frontend.
Lots of frustrations with the Via Technologies 8233 chipset on the Elitegroup
K7VMM+ PCB 3.1 system board, but nothing that couldn't be solved by shutting it
off and using a Soudblaster Live card I had lying about. <g>
Since it's working now, I want to tweak the performance a bit. Audio and video
stutter a bit from time to time, but I am using 720x480 resolution and best
sound quality possible.
So, my question is, what are the optimal settings for resolution and quality
that will work on my 10/100 lan?
Are there any special settings to enhance this system?
Specs:
- AMD Athlon 1800+
- SoundBlaster Live
- Hauppauge PVR-250 (tuner on Master Backend)
- PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200
Another thing ... since the backend is on a P4 2.54 gHz system, if I were to add
a second tuner, should I put it in the master backend or run a second backend on
the other (frontend) system?
Thanks again to everyone!
