[mythtv-users] Basic requirements (hardware)

[Kelly Reed Schuerman]

If you want to build a "test" system before dropping money into a new box,
I'd go for it.  I'm running an athlon 650/256MB RAM with two WinTV 401 tuner
cards.  I set the quality to 320x480 and approx. 1800 bitrate and I can
record two shows at once or play one and record one, live TV while not
recording anything even works pretty well.  I do want a faster system so it
is more capable, but until the funds are there this is doing nicely.
