<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found some stuff talking about issues using a
HushPC as a frontend. The problems that seemed to be present (at least for
the Mini ITX variety) are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- quality of the built in S-Video out</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- space constraints and heat issues if throwing in
a PVR-350</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- driver issues with the Mini-ITX
motherboard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, most of the stuff I found seemed to be a
couple of years old. I was wondering if the same problems still exist or
if people are sucessfully using them for a frontend?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ideally I'd like to bulid a front-end with no tuner
card, but I'm concerned now about the quality of the S-Video out port. If
I put a PVR 350 in, I'm now concerned about burning it up. I guess another
option is to not put in a 350 but do put in a simple TV out card
(suggestions?). And has driver support for the chipsets
improved?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
