[mythtv-users] What do you do with your Myth box?

[Daniel Jimenez]

I have an Athlon 2500 XP with 1 gig of ram with an AVER TV Tuner. This 
is my backend. I have a serial cable connected to a Motorola digital 
cable box for watching digital channels. I have a 14GB drive for the OS, 
and two 80GB drives for MythTV stuff (LVM so I can expand as needed). 
This box serves as by backend.

I have a brand new Shuttle SK41G (http://tinyurl.com/mw5b) that I just 
bought yesterday. I put an Athlon 2200 and 256MB RAM in this guy. It has 
a built in S3 ProSavageDDR (called a Savage8 on board though) and has 
SVideo out. I plan to make this my remote frontend. I'll be putting a 
DVD player in it to watch DVDs. I'm going to run MythMusic and MythVideo 
on it as well. I ran a cable from the room with my backend to the TV. I 
cut a whole in the carpet and used fish wire to string it through so it 
doesn't get tripped on.

I'm currently struggling with the remote frontend. I get all sorts of QT 
errors when trying to watch a recording on either of my frontends 
(http://tinyurl.com/2q9ns). I'm also looking for a good remote to buy. 
I'm considering buying a Tivo remote but I'm unsure where to buy an IR 
reciever that could recieve it's signal.
