I posted this link on my original mythtv thread, it at least posts my
working frontend sw & hw (backend is on a second computer).

Zotac 330 ION is ok, its a bit hotter and noisier than I expected but
a lot quiet than the desktop it replaced and it is nicely strapped to
the back of the TV.  I'd probably look for a metal passive-cooling
solution next time.

People have recommended 2x DDR3 would run better than 1x DDR3.  I have
not tried this yet and I'm not running 1080p due to my TV limitations.
