What is the hardware setup you use for your frontend that pushes HD content to your HDTV?
<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br></snip></font></blockquote></div><br>Josh --<br><br>My frontend/backend is on the same box, a AMD 64 3800+ (1 Gig Ram); Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT Video Card, 1.5 TB Diskspace (3 500 GB SATA Drives). Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
<br><br>I feed SPDIF from my Motherboard to my Receiver and send VGA to the LCD.<br><br>I have been running since April with only a few hickups (tied to cooling and SVN issues).<br><br>To be clear, I have had ZERO issues with the HD Homerun. The Silicon Dust support team is top notch.
<br><br>If you have QAM avaliable via your cable company, that is more robust than OTA (at least for me, cuz, I am surrounded by all the local towers and can't lock a signal for my life -- too much signal can be bad thing)
