I'm hoping to put together my dream system in the next couple of weeks. It
will look like this:
Home built backend
- Athlon 64, 3800
- 2GB Ram
- Lot's of hard-drives (4x250M = 1TB)
- WinTV PVR 150
- pchdtv HD-3000
A fanless frontend from www.hushtechnologies.com
The questions:
1) Do I need a powerhouse frontend to display HDTV streamed from the backend
over gigabit ethernet? I was hoping to get away with a modest CPU to keep
the box cool.
2) Any issues with my choice of tv tuners? Will I be able to record an ATSC
stream off the pchdtv card while watching an NTSC stream off the WinTV card?
3) Any experience using a 64-bit distro with these cards?
Thanks for any guidance you have!
