What tuner card (if any) are you using, as that might be a consideration. I know this will probably get me boo'd off the list... but are you sure your stability problems stem from the software/OS? Although I think you'll find knoppmyth/MythTV to be very cool, but if you're issue is really ends up to be heat related, or power related, or something of that ilk... the symptom *may* follow you to linux/mythtv.
Then again, for stability linux may be "the cure" you're looking for ;) e. -- http://www.byopvr.com On 9/21/05, Bill Omer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > I've been thinking more and more about converting my PVR over to Myth. > I'm currently using Win2k with BTV and Meedio and using a Firefly > remote.
