I’m just about to put in a new box for my home server and am thinking about changing my Myth setup as well. I’d appreciate your comments if you have done anything similar:<br>

What do you think? Is VMWare with MythBackend on a (probably Fedora or CentOS) virtual machine a viable option? I may add some more front-ends as well but at this stage it will be one of each.<br>

I've run my myth MBE on VMWare for a couple of years with no issue. When I had analogue tuners (PVR-500), I left them on the host side and installed the basics for a slave backend on the host which then registered with the master. This worked very reliably. I was running CentOS so the backend RPMs where easy to grab from atrpms.<br>
<br>
I now use HD-PVRs which pass through to MBE on VMWare 2 via USB and this works a treat. However I channel change via ieee1394 so I use ssh to execute the command on the host for channel changes as VMWare doesn't support ieee1394 pass through.<br>
