Possibly I could put the Mac Mini on a separate private network, wired<br>
or wireless, so that it doesn't directly collide with all the stuff<br>
currently on the network, and then let the other machine do the<br>
playback with a VDPAU card of some sort.<br>

If you have a wired, switched 100M+ network, you should be fine. I use gigabit for my Myth stuff and it works great. I can have 3 streams going + the 2 recording from the HDHR just fine. I've considered moving the HDHR to it's own network, but it hasn't really caused any problems. I've also tossed around adding a second HDHR, but I just don't have enough conflicts right now to justify the expense. If I ever add another one, I'll probably move them to thier own network with a dedicated backend machine. <br>
