<div dir="ltr"><div>I see the anti-ARM crowd has already jumped in. Here's the reality: I use a SheevaPlug (same ARM CPU as the Seagate mentioned earlier) for my Myth BE and it works just fine. Reschedules take a little while, so if you schedule a new show it doesn't show up in the Upcoming Recordings right away. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it. I do not commflag or transcode however.</div>
<div> </div><div>Performance is not an issue. The thing is shoveling bits from HDHR to a hard drive and from the hard drive to a FE out on the network. If some people get a kick out of using quad-core 3GHz CPUs to do 400MHz of work, well, it's a free country. But don't tell me ARM is a downgrade because I consider a big, noisy, hot, inefficient x86 box to be a downgrade in every important way from my tiny, silent, cool, efficient ARM.</div>
