So I am finally taking the plunge and am turning my old computer into a mythtv.<br><br>I have never set up a linux box before. I do have a bit of unix experience, however, I have never actually set anything up before, and have only experienced it as a user. Due to that fact, I have decided to try out Knoppmyth. Okay, the computer has an Athlon XP 2200+, 512 MB RAM, and an NForce2 motherboard which has the onboard GeForce4 MX, sound, nic, s-video out. I'm guessing that this s-video out will be adequate, but I'm not quite sure. So I'm thinking about purchasing the
<br><br>PVR-150 with the remote: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116625">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116625</a><br>and a PVR-500 MCE: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116628">
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815116628</a><br><br>Ok...so I've been searching through the mailing list archives, and keep coming up with conflicting ideas. Some people say the PVR-500 is too hard to set up. Some say it works fine. Some say that the onboard video is great. Some say they can't get it working. So...what's the deal. Is my onboard video going to be ok? Is the PVR-500 worth getting? Any ideas for me would be really appreciated. Thanks,
<br><br>Steve<br>
