[mythtv-users] Re: Dual Nova-T's in mini-itx

Tue Sep 27 10:14:34 UTC 2005

Hi,

Noticed a few posts about the Nova-T digital tuner
cards.  I was wondering if anyone had any experience
running dual Nova-T's in a mini-itx system:

VIA EPIA MII 1.2 ghz
Casetronic C137
2.5" HD
Knoppmyth R5A16

I'm told that one card works fine as long as the
resolution is set to normal rather than HD.  Just
wondering if anyone had any experience running 2
digital cards though, was concerned about
overheating/processor capability.

Also wondering if this should be straightforward to
setup as I'm still quite new to Linux.

regards
Nick
