[mythtv-users] Myth Box Components

[Sérgio Gaspar]

Hi,

Better not mix PVR500MCE with VIA chipsets, the board you selected has a 
VIA chipset. I've had problems with that mix, although on a different 
board. Try performing a search on the list archives for problems with 
VIA chipsets.

I used to like VIA, but my preference has changed since I started 
building my myth box.

Just a friendly advice.

Regards,

Sergio
