Actually my question is, is mythtv now going to become more hardware
intensive, just to do SD? The hard disk thrashing question frightens
me, because right now I get by with 512MB of RAM, _no_ swap, and my hard
drive set to the lowest performance level/highest acm level so that it
is completely silent. I don't want hard drive performance to need to
become a factor when watching TV.... Can anyone shed some light on this?
I suppose I can always hold back from upgrading, but it looks like .19.1
may solve a lot of problems, well more like little glitches really.
