Hey guys,
I've finally decided to take the plunge and build my first MythTV box. I
live in Spain and have a fully paid up subscription to Digital+, and
it's mainly this that I'll want the MythTV box to manage - recording,
pausing, etc. I've been looking at hardware configurations and hoped you
guys could cast an expert eye over my selections to see if any issues I
may have missed leap out.
Case CAJA ANTEC NSK 2400
Motherboard Asus M2NPV-VM
Processor AMD ATHLON 64 X2 5200+ AM2 IN A BOX (2Mb Cache)
RAM 2 x DIMM 1 Gb DDR2 800 MHZ KINGSTON HYPER-X
HD 1 HDD 80 Gb 7200 RPM SATA II
HD 2 HDD 250 Gb 7200 RPM SATA II
DVB-S Technotrend Budget S-1500 incl. CI
Video Onboard (GeForce 6150)
Sound Onboard (ADI AD1986A High Difinition Audio 5.1)
Optical DVD-RW PIONEER 112 DOBLE CAPA BLACK
Keyboard/Mouse LOGITECH CORDLESS DEKSTOP S510 MEDIA
CAM Diablo CAM, Programmer, Dummy Card
DVI-D->HDMI
Having read the wiki, I get the impression that DVB-S, particularly
encrypted broadcasts, are quite tough to get working. I'm planning to
use MythBuntu - is there anything anyone can think of that I should be
aware of while trying to sort all this out?
Thanks for you time!
John...
