<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV>I've had my MythTV system for a few months, and I'm quite satisfied with how it's working, and am currently trying to encourage my family to use it. The current set-up is a Back-End with 256 MB of RAM, some rather small hard disks, a Celeron 600, and a Hauppauge PVR-150. The front-end is an XBox.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Even though I've had my Myth box a short time, I know that it already needs upgrades. First and foremost is a hard disk. But, I'm also thinking I might need an extra tuner or two for the system. I'm thinking of installing either another PVR-150, or going whole-hog and getting a PVR-500. I'm not getting a hard disk smaller than 200 GB.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Anyway, I'm wondering if the Myth Users community has any suggestions on this one. Would my Celeron 600 be able to support three simultaneous tuners? Are there any other hardware encoding cards that the Myth community can suggest (single or dual-tuners? I'm thinking dual, because I've only got one additional PCI slot I can appropriate). Any possible complications?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And is there any word on a .19 version of Myth in a pre-configured/compiled disk image or whatever for XBox? I'd like to upgrade, but so far, all of the instructions I've received to compiling on the XBox point me to the defunct XBox-MythTV project, or the non-existant MythTV Debian Packages. My attempts at compiling MythTV myself haven't been very successful, so I'm just looking at my options right now.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>thanks for all your guys' help!
