Phil,

Sounds like you're running a combined front/backend setup?

I run separate setups for front/backend but through my research came to 
realise any HD Tuner (DVB-T) that linux supports  should work find. I use an 
older FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital Tuner (2 of) which you can't buy any 
more, they only sell the PCI-E models and I'm not sure they are working 
under linux yet, but I was checking that when they frist came out some time 
ago.

Make sure you find someone that has the setup working with the linux build 
of choice.. I made the mistake of buying VERY new components and it took 3-4 
months before the wonderful open source community caught up to the chipsets 
on the motherboard for audio let alone the tuner cards I bought!


Regards,


BC.

Hello MythTV users,

I am after advice specifically for an Australian build of Myth TV.

I have been scouring the forum and the mythtv wiki and there is a lot
of information and I am getting a little confused.

I am in Australia so I will only be dealing with DVB-T and MPEG2 streams.

I was originally looking at the HDHomeRun after posting a long time
ago but this card still has not been released so I am giving up on
it...

I am starting from scratch.

I would like to output video and audio through HDMI to my receiver.
I want to support (HD) 1080i broadcasts.

What is a good dual tuner card?
What is a good video/sound card?
What is a good case (slim and quiet)

I want to keep the cost below $1000 but preferably less...

I am looking at this as a better than beyonwiz type solution as in I
can also use the system for email/web browsing etc.

Cheers

Phil
