Playback takes about 50% of the CPU. My first build was a software encoding card on a much earlier verison of Myth, and the machine could /just/ play and record at the same time. IMO, for a remote FE, a "fast" Celeron will work fine for SD broadcast. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
