Hi,<br><br>I've been using MythTV at home for a while & it works great. I've just been asked to come up with something similar for an apartment complex. Anyone ever tried running a BE under Xen/VMWare? I need (for a start) 20 separate BE systems and ideally want to avoid getting 20 physical machines (I'd have to start dangling boxes out the little server room's window).<br>
<br>I was thinking of putting 5 virtual servers on each server (Dual Xeon 3GHz QC machines with 12GB RAM each & a PVR-250 or Plextor TV402U dedicated to each virtual machine). The servers have tons of storage so I'm not too concerned about transcoding, just recording & playing back pre-encoded video files (MPEG2 & DivX) & serving up photos & mp3s.<br>
<br>Anyone ever try anything like this?<br><br>Danie<br><br>
