For the motherboard I highly recommend avoiding the via chipsets based 
on what other here have gone through.  Search 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?list=mythtv&do=search_results&search_forum=forum_1&search_string=via+chipset&search_type=AND

now as the product offerings change, but the descriptions are complete 
and valid.)
