Hello everyone. Well after a year dealing with Tivo I've decided my<br>
wife isn't the ruler of the house and we're going back to a Myth<br>
box! BTW yes I am sleeping with one eye open now:)<br>
<br>
I've been trying to find some info on these atom processors and how<br>
well they might work with myth to do both a front and back end. I<br>
currently have a Asus AT3N7A-I which is a Atom 330 1.6Ghz dual core<br>
with nVidia Ion graphics.<br>
<br>
I can receive three OTA HD channels and a few old school SD channels<br>
(I'm in Canada). So I'm just wondering if this thing can handle it<br>
or am I going to need some more power? If it can does anyone have<br>
some settings that would optimize it?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
An ion box will certainly play back pretty well anything you throw at<br>
it, providing you are comfortable running the nvidia drivers.<br>
<br>
Use as a backend depends on your usage case. recording digital tv will<br>
be fine. transcoding and comm flagging will not be as fast as a more<br>
powerful processor.<br>

Thanks for the reply. I kinda thought it should be powerful enough to do at least play back. Still a little concerned about recording and playback at the same time either live it or record one and watch another. I did install the nvidia drivers but haven't really got much farther then that. Are there any settings I should be looking at? I forgot to mention my capture card currently is a Hauppauge HVR-950Q.<div>
