[mythtv-users] Re: Can mythtv handle two dumb capture cards?

[Adam Felson]

On my system, less than 1K/hour is written to the backend logfile.  It
hardly is a factor compared to the 1.4GB/hr written when capturing two
programs!

To anybody who can capture from two dumb capture cards at once:
  what hardware (motherboard, cpu, memory, etc.) are you running?
  what kernel are you running?  Is it patched for low latency and kernel
preemption?
