[mythtv-users] Mythbacked on ESXi 5.0

[Govindarajan]

I am trying to comprehend the advantages of such a set up but I am not
getting convinced. One could just run Mythtv (front and backend) on a
physical box. Running more than just backend VMs or multiple backends
on the same physical box could be one. Could you explain the other
advantages please?

As a side note I work for VMware on ESX/ESXi but never imagined mythtv
to be one of the workloads that would be virtualized.

Cheers,
Govind
