It would depend on the number of simultaneous recordings desired and the 
size of your lineup.  I imagine the banana pi should be able to handle a 
couple of simultaneous recordings from a dvb-t device. With the lubuntu 
image, the myth packages are available.  When I first got my BPi, I 
installed the frontend, but due to the lack of video acceleration it was 
close to useless.
