hi all,<BR>
First time poster big time fan, so here's what I'm looking to do, am I crazy. I'm looking to use MythTV/MythTivo as a front end to 4 Dtivo units. In a nutshell, I currently have 4 directv/tivo (dtivo) units doing the recording and want to use a mythtv/mythtivo fe/mini-itx box as the means for getting to the content that is being recorded.<BR>
<BR>
The breakdown:<BR>
<BR>
* 3 DSR6000's + 1 Hughes Series Too DTivo w/ USB Network Card<BR>
* Currently I inject 2 (rf modulation) of the DSR6000's into my basic cable (made<BR>
my internet cheaper) stream as channels (70,75 and ir)<BR>
* structured wiring (2 rg6/2 cat5e) throughout house (I have the scars to show for it)<BR>
* Currently have a mini-itx/slimserver (go slimmy,sqz, and slimdevices.com) and<BR>
need an excuse to builld another mini-itx server to make my house rock!<BR>
* About to network/upgrade one of the DSR6000 w/ 9thT cache/nic card. (came in today)<BR>
and need a reason to install software on the series too<BR>
* Goal hook up a tv/ir target/coax to wall/universal remote to <BR>
any 1 rg6 connection in any room and<BR>
have access to all dtivo/cable resources w/o additional hardware.<BR>
* Want to basically build a Tivo Cluster to work my biddings<BR>
* I'm a op monkey {(pp)roboscis}<BR>
* Also looking for more reasons to add the 2 other tivo's and a mini-itx<BR>
Mythtv(fe) content aggrigator as channels 78, 82, 88 in my basic channel stream.<BR>
am i crazy, and is it possible to make a mini-itx/mythtv box be able to handle this?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
