[mythtv-users] mythTV + USB MPEG Tuner + NSLU2 ?

[Andrew Leung]

Hello,

MythTV is great. I really appreciate all the work everyone has put into it.
It's definitely made my life easier.

I am wondering what experiences people have had with mythTV, external USB
MPEG tuners (i.e. a plextor convertx PXTV402), and a LinkSys NSLU2? Is it
possible to just run the backend with a USB tuner on something low powered
like a NSLU2? (I don't need the mythtv front end working. I am utilizing
mythtv's web interface to record shows and I am downloading the shows to
view on a different computer. )

My mythTV setup now is using a small intel-based shuttle running Mythdora +
the Plextor Convertx. Since the Convertx outputs MPEG-4 SP, the system
almost has no load... So I am toying with the idea of replacing the shuttle
with a lower powered system... maybe even just a NSLU2 running debian. What
is the lowest power setup you have run mythtv using an external encoder?

Thanks for the info,
andrew
