I'm new to this list but have thinking about building a MythTV box of a year or so.  I've now started ordering bits (well a antec overture II case) and am planning on using a  Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-t freeview PCI card and Ubuntu/512MB memory.  As you can probably imagine, I have a few questions.
 
Firstly what processor should I get. I had a AMD Sempron 3000+ to 3400+ in mind.  What I was hoping on being able to do is allow the TV card to do the recording and have enough oomth in the CPU to be able to decode/play at the same time as recording or do I need two TV cards to do this.  Being able to play and record at the same time is very important to me.  How do I wire things up to record/play at the same time.  If I had two cards would I have one wired to record an the other to play and do they have to be the same cards?
 
Is the  'Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-t PCI card' a good choice or are there other freeview cards I should consider (freeview is the relatively new free to view TV service here in the UK).  I am assuming here that I should go for a internal PCI card because I am not sure about compatibility with external USB cards although having a external card is better from the point of you of interference.

Ben
