Hello,<br clear="all"><br>MythTV is great. I really appreciate all the work everyone has put into it. It's definitely made my life easier.<br><br>I am wondering what experiences people have had with mythTV, external USB MPEG tuners (i.e. a plextor convertx PXTV402), and a LinkSys NSLU2? Is it possible to just run the backend with a USB tuner on something low powered like a NSLU2? (I don't need the mythtv front end working. I am utilizing mythtv's web
interface to record shows and I am downloading the shows to view on a
different computer. )<br><br>My mythTV setup now is using a small intel-based shuttle running Mythdora + the Plextor Convertx. Since the Convertx outputs MPEG-4 SP, the system almost has no load... So I am toying with the idea of replacing the shuttle with a lower powered system... maybe even just a NSLU2 running debian. What is the lowest power setup you have run mythtv using an external encoder?<br>
<br>Thanks for the info,<br>andrew<br>-- <br>andrew leung<br>
