from what you said it is no problem to record one show and watch a pre-recorded
one at the same time with one card (like you can with Tivo)?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=753033009-26092005>Also
what is the issue with CPU usage and burning to DVD, or is it best to copy video
files to another computer and do it there, I'me asumimg I will need to transcode
from freeview stream to a DVD compatable format and this is going to max out
cpu.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

other option is to use my current motherboard (P4 1.7) for my MythTV box and
replace my main system. Would this be up to it?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

had a AMD Sempron 3000+ to 3400+ in mind.

<DIV><BR>If you have not planned to do HDTV, then these processors are
overkill. I use an AMD 1800+, which uses around 25% of its CPU when decoding
to a GeForce4 MX440.<BR><BR></DIV><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN>What I was hoping on being able to do is
allow the TV card to do the recording and have enough oomth in the CPU to be
able to decode/play at the same time as recording or do I need two TV cards
to do this. </SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>If you want to record two shows at a time or if you want to watch
live tv while recording a second, then you need two TV cards. Otherwise you
only need one (I have only one).<SPAN class=753033009-26092005><FONT
