<div>Hi all, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm new to linux support of pvr's. I've done a little research though and from what I can tell MythTv is the most functional and stable; plus, it allows for multiple inputs and outputs. But I haven't been able to find out whether or not 1080p output is supported? And maybe it depends on the hardware, if so, does anybody have any sucess with any particular sets of hardware (including displaying it on a 1080p tv)? I apologize if this has been asked before, again I'm new to this...

The biggest thing to keep in mind is a CPU powerful enough to play back 1080p (3Ghz+ is a good idea I think), a video board that can output the resolution and has DVI on it (I have a 6600GT), a DVI->HDMI cable, and of course firewire or an HDTV board to record with (I went with an HD-3000, but I've heard good things about the HD-5000 also). I will say it was a royal pain to get running, but it's quite impressive when you do get it going! Most of the trials and tribulations of getting it running can be read about in the archives - that's how I got it running.
<br><br>Let me know if you have have any other specific questions, but it can be done and runs very well.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Chris<br>
