[mythtv-users] Mythtv newbie questions...

[allene222]

Thanks for the replies.  I guess the backend can be the 1.2GHz machine but
without transcoding so the frontends need to be more than the MediaMVP
boxes.  

How much power do I need in a frontend machine to play into an SD TV but
with source that is HD?  Is that just as difficult as playing full HD?  How
much computing power will I need here?  Can the remote computer be a windows
machine (Like my wife's desktop?)

Also, how much computing power for the main frontend machine?  This one will
drive the 720p projector.   

I am looking at this split configuration so that I can have a low power
(watts) solution.  Perhaps I should just build one monster and use suspend
to save power.  Does that work and is it easy to use (like works
automatically)?

Allen
