[mythtv-users] HW MSI kit

[Brad Kerr]

The problem I have found with Mini-PC's (shuttle in particular) is that they
do not provide the two pin jumper for attaching the digital out from an
internal DVD player.  This never made sense to me since they provide optical
SPDIF-OUT jacks.  These mobo usually only come with the 4 pin CD audio
input.  I could never find an easy way to figure out this information
without calling the company or looking through the mobo documentation.  Of
course, if you are are not worried about digital audio out, then this
wouldn't be a problem.
 
If I am way off in my thinking, please, someone correct me.

Actually, that isn't as nice for Myth as the new Mega PC, the Mega 180,
which is an Nforce 2 MB and Athlon CPU that is well supported by Linux and
many people run Myth on.  It even has a PCI slot free for a PVR-250, though
I personally would think this would make a nice frontend.  It has wifi built
in as well as a FM tuner, none of which I think is supported under Linux,
but you can at least use the CD and FM tuner in a standalone mode without an
OS.
 
There is a review today over at Tom's Hardware that seems pretty good.  
 
Thanks,
Mike
