[mythtv-users] Mac Mini Core Solo as FE/BE Combo?

[Justin Kim]

My 1.83 Core Duo is too slow to play back 1080i without turning off 
the "scale video as necessary" setting in the FE software.

My TV doesn't do 720, so I haven't tried that yet.

No idea about running a BE on a Mac.  Last I checked, the BE didn't 
work on OS X, but I may be behind the times on this.

Would it be capable of being a full front and back end unit with a 
WinTV PVRUSB2 for analog and a HDHomeRun for digital?

I expect to be able to continue to watch 720p and 1080i content like 
I do now on my bulky space heater of an Athlon 64 3000+ -- stuff on 
there runs smooth enough, but not as smooth as when I go watch it on 
a real TV / Comcast DVR combo.
I can't get XvMC to work...so maybe that's why.

Am I dreaming with my goals or can I take the space heater offline 
[Myth is the only reason it exists] in favor of the free Mini?


Thanks,
Michael
