Basically, I'm looking for a way to get rid of the many power
hungry modulators I'm using now to output video onto my coax
and to better use it. I'd also like to benefit from the cool
mythtv PVR functionality.</blockquote>

<div>This argument doesn't make sense at all -- you say you want
to replace 'power hungry' modulators with Computer systems
running MythTV??? So going from 10-20W per modulator to
200-400W per computer?</div>

Wait... 400W for a single computer? Ive got two full size
computers, an embedded Geode computer, 17 hard drives, two optical
drives, a hardware RAID card, two filled gigabit switches, a
wireless AP, five tuners, POTS ATA, DSL modem, and WiFi access point
all on a single UPS, and it barely exceeds 300W consumption at the
wall.<br>
