My BE is running and has been running on a Centos KVM VM for quite some
time, all of my tuners are HD Homerun type tuners but I have 4 set of
tuners and it never skips a beat. Uptime with the KVM is as long as I want
until I want to update and have to reboot due to a kernal update etc. I
have not upgrade to .28 still running .27 with updates since right now it
aint broke and does everything I need it do. :)
