<TITLE>RE: [mythtv-users] Building a Basic MythTV box</TITLE>

<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>>Well, I'm in America, so we don't have the advantage of those fancy </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>DVB cards you get. I'm working with a "dumb" capture card (Digital-to- </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>analog card).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Should still work.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I have analogue card working too... Just get much better reception with Digital..</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Comments from anyone?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>..</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Yeah, I should have realized that, but I wasn't sure if MythTV was </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>going to go all weird if I changed filesystems on it.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Shouldn't affect where the files are saved - unless you have a VERY Slow disk.. (read: swapfiles etc). Suck and SEE!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>>Ahh, well, then we *may* have a problem.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Why is that? If you have a piece of copper cat-5 cable connecting your backend to the XBOX.. Even at 10MB you should have *some* bandwidth... I haven't tried a 10Mb cable connection - normally if you can do 10Mb on your cable you should be able to squeeze 100Mb down it.. Might need more information about your cabling config.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>>Now we DEFINITELY have a problem. We only have an 802.11b system, and </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>our wired network is only 10 Mbits anyway. Aside from completely </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>redoing out entire network, any suggestions? </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Don't even bother with 802.11b - it really doesn't work (I've tried it).. Upgrade to 802.11G and you will be fine.. The problem is that 11Mb is not reall 11Mb - it is MUCH less... Not enough bandwidth.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>>Also, if my front-end </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>and back-end are different machines, is it still possible to do live </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>TV viewing?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Absolutly - that's exactly what I have been doing for some time.. Works fine.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(My backend system is in the garage, with a copper 100Mb 50ft run to my hub/frontend)</FONT>
