Hello everyone. Well after a year dealing with Tivo I've decided my wife isn't the ruler of the house and we're going back to a Myth 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 well they might work with myth to do both a front and back end. I currently have a Asus AT3N7A-I which is a Atom 330 1.6Ghz dual core with nVidia Ion graphics.<br>
<br>
I can receive three OTA HD channels and a few old school SD channels (I'm in Canada). So I'm just wondering if this thing can handle it or am I going to need some more power? If it can does anyone have some settings that would optimize it?<br>
