<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, I am the latest newbie on the list
:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ive been going over documentations, and list
archives for a cpl of days now, and i have found the answers to most of my
questions. But here is a few of my ponderings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I have a Celeron 2.4Ghz, 256MB, and a 60GB
disk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I am pondering purchasing a Hauppage WinTV
PVR-350</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Assemble it all into a realtively quite
chassi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Get LIRC (or similar) working to control my
SetTopBox.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, i reckon that would be a pretty decent MythTV
box?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But, do i still need a VGA card in the system, or
can the 350's video out work for this as well?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, is there any front end to be able to stream
video to stream to a Windows client? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, platform. I am a Debian user by heart, but
for this project, i want zero hassle, and since it will be a dedicated system,
i'll consider any distro, as long as it works nicely with MythTV.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, anyone feeling like hinting me in
here?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
