Should still work.
I have analogue card working too... Just get much better reception with
Digital..
Comments from anyone?

Shouldn't affect where the files are saved - unless you have a VERY Slow
disk.. (read: swapfiles etc). Suck and SEE!
>Ahh, well, then we *may* have a problem.
Why is that? If you have a piece of copper cat-5 cable connecting your
backend to the XBOX.. Even at 10MB you should have *some* bandwidth... I
haven't tried a 10Mb cable connection - normally if you can do 10Mb on your
cable you should be able to squeeze 100Mb down it.. Might need more
information about your cabling config.
>Now we DEFINITELY have a problem. We only have an 802.11b system, and
>our wired network is only 10 Mbits anyway. Aside from completely
>redoing out entire network, any suggestions?
Don't even bother with 802.11b - it really doesn't work (I've tried it)..
Upgrade to 802.11G and you will be fine.. The problem is that 11Mb is not
reall 11Mb - it is MUCH less... Not enough bandwidth.
>Also, if my front-end
>and back-end are different machines, is it still possible to do live
>TV viewing?
Absolutly - that's exactly what I have been doing for some time.. Works
fine.
(My backend system is in the garage, with a copper 100Mb 50ft run to my
hub/frontend)
