Hi, everyone,
I'm planning my tv home setup, and I think that the idea of a client server is great. At this point, the plan is to run a cheap celeron or something with 500M RAM in a hidden place, with three (!) hadware encoding capture cards, and use several (3 or more) EPIA M II 6000 around the house as silent clients (maybe diskless, via net boot, that would be great).
However, I don't know if that will be enough horsepower. Do you guys think that a cheap celeron will be able to encode and save three streams (with hardware encoding) and serve 3 or more remote frontends, with pause, replay, etc?
And what about the capture cards? I've just foud this one, <http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150lp.html>, which looks great (and is low profile, nice). But I could not find anything in the net about its linux/mythtv usability.
Also, I have been told some ugly stories about PAL-M (brazilian variant of PAL) trouble.
Any hints?
Thanks a lot, ----------------------------- Joao
