[mythtv-users] Dual pvr-250 backend

[anders smith]

I agree.
I'm running a backend with two pvr250 cards on a c3-60 processor
supplying two frontends and never see any activity above a couple of
percent except when it's grabbing epg info etc. and it's even doing
print, music and picture serving for two more desktop machines as
well.
