<p class=MsoNormal>I’m considering to buy Acer Revo or similar unit for use
with MythTV. It is interesting that it is actually cheaper to buy a pre-built
one rather than build an NVIDIA OIN based HTPC yourself. However, all these
nettops are missing some crucial (for me) feature – video input. The only
option seems to be to add a USB tuner card (I don’t need the tuner, but I could
not find video input cards without one).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, my question is – are modern NVIDIA ION and Atom
based nettops such as Acer Revo and Asus EEE PC powerful enough to support
video capture via USB along with playback, i.e. timeshifting ? <o:p></o:p></p>
