[mythtv-users] Hardware Setup Advice

[Another Sillyname]

Hi David

It would help if you let us know which version of myth you're using
and a bit more detail about your storage group setup.

Just to let you know I have a setup with 4 physical and 12 virtual
DVB-T tuners and 3 physical and 6 virtual DVB-S tuners.  I run .23
fixes and have my storage group spread up over 3 drives (fast Seagate
Constellation 2 drives not in raid or anything).  I have for test
purposes recorded 18 streams of which 6 were HD simultaneously for an
hour without problems.

It sounds to me though that you're doing this for a commercial
operation?  If so how important is 100% deliverable?

Regards

Tony
