Hi all,<br>Thanks for all the responses :-)<br><br>A bit more info:<br>The 20 apartments have 2-6 TVs each, in total I'm dealing with 67 TVs and thats just phase 1 of 3. Each apartment has its own coax feed plus 2GB backhaul, each TV outlet also has a gigabit port. All the TV here is analog cable, no digital available (Satellite is too glitchy in this tropical weather without a dish big enough to block the view).<br>
<br>John:<br>I'm pretty sure I can get a Plextor TV402U's USB connection piped to the right machine under Xen, I do it with USB scanners & printers all the time, for PCI I've had some Adaptec & LSI RAID cards assigned to specific VM's by filtering access to the PCI slot in Xen, my biggest concerns are load and if anyone knows of any specific quirks running MythTV under Xen.<br>
<br>Jay:<br>Combined BE/FEs with that many TVs is just too expensive, I looked at the HDHomeRun but its digital-only and we need analog. I also want to give each of the apartments some storage space for their own photos & music.<br>
<br>Jre:<br>Sorry - my writing was a bit confusing I meant: 2x Xeon Quad-Core 3GHz per machine.<br><br>On the whole it seems worth at least a good test, I've got 2 comparable servers coming in in two weeks, I'll get hold of at least two Plextor TV402U as well and see what happens. I also want to try out the MediaMVP for a FE, I'll let you all know how it goes.<br>
