<div dir="ltr"><div><br clear="all">Hi All,</div>
<div> I just joined this mailing list, I have a couple of questions regarding setting up the hardware for the mythtv. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is the setup I am looking for:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Backend:</div>
<div> An Intel based 2+ Ghz processor, 1GB RAM and 500 GB harddisk. I am planning to buy a HD TV tuner card. Any good Linux distribution and Mythtv source.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Frontend:</div>
<div>I have two HD tvs in two rooms, which are far away from the server. I plan to buy two MediaMVP boxes (the new version, which has a 802.11g wireless interface).</div>
<div>I am planning to stream video(and audio) to the HD tv's through these MediaMVP boxes and these boxes recieve the stream on the wireless network. (is my approach right?)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The questions I have is this:</div>
<div>1. Can I stream live TV to both the boxes at the same time? If both the boxes intend to view a different channel at once, is it possible for mythtv to decode two live channels with just one TV tuner card? or do I need two different TV tuner cards?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Is the Backend system described above sufficient enough for operation in point 1.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Is 802.11g sufficient to broadcast two channels to two different MVP boxes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. How good is the MediaMVP box with mythtv.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5. I have seen some sites which say MediaMVP doesnt support all the features of mythtv.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a novice in this area and am looking to setup a media server environment in my home which can stream stored movies, live tv, video sites, weather, news sites, photos to my two HD's. All my HD's are wall mounted and I dont want to setup a PC as a frontend near them, rather a small box and preferrably use wireless broadcast rather than a wired setup.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would greatly appreciate if someone can suggest alternate hardwares too. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank You</div>
