[mythtv-users] New Mac Mini, ultimate MythTV HD frontend?

[WiFi Fun]

When I got home this evening I decided to check what was going on with
playback on my mini. I have a 1.42 mini with 512 megs of ram. Using
ssh to login from another comp, I started top and then the frontend on
the mini. When selecting live tv, overall CPU usage is not spiking
higher than 60%. Then I loaded the activity monitor, and displayed
it's window over the frontend. Though it spikes in the 80's it is
stuttering even when it is steady about 50%. There does seem to be a
disk activity spike when the stutters take place. 1.4.5 with nothing
on the machine but itunes, and mythfrontend. I used this as a music
server for a while. I am stumped with these playback problems.
