So
from what you said it is no problem to record one show and watch a pre-recorded
one at the same time with one card (like you can with Tivo)?
Also
what is the issue with CPU usage and burning to DVD, or is it best to copy video
files to another computer and do it there, I'me asumimg I will need to transcode
from freeview stream to a DVD compatable format and this is going to max out
cpu.
My
other option is to use my current motherboard (P4 1.7) for my MythTV box and
replace my main system. Would this be up to it?
Regards,
Ben

Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] (no subject)Firstly what processor should I get. I had a AMD Sempron 3000+ to 3400+ in mind.
If you have not planned to do HDTV, then these processors are overkill. I use an AMD 1800+, which uses around 25% of its CPU when decoding to a GeForce4 MX440.
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.
If you want to record two shows at a time or if you want to watch live tv while recording a second, then you need two TV cards. Otherwise you only need one (I have only one).
