Hi, I just joined this group and I apologize early if this gets asked by everyone who's new or if it's forbidden (please be kind, oh wise ones!), but I'm looking for a complete set of hardware / software components that are required and suggested for building out an HD MythTV box (if I can record one channel and watch a different channel at the same time, that's a plus).
After spending 2 weeks reading and analyzing hardware/software suggestions, I'm at the point where I need final expert opinions. I have seen some outdated lists, a lot that isn't related to HD requirements, and a lot of back-and-forth bickering about 'that drive is crap' or 'that video card sucks', so I'm turning to the experts to settle the score. For your consideration, I have a Comcast HD digital cable box, DVID and optical out and an HDTV w/ DVID in. It would be helpful to get a list of hardware components required, and a list of the other hardware / software components you've found helpful and would suggest. If you point me to a current list for HDTV/MythTv, that would be great, otherwise just respond and I'll compile the list and post it. (And yeah, I know that I could cull the hardware list from the 200k postings on 100 different boards, but you all are the pros and I wanted to cut through the bickering and get building!). Thanks in advance! Brad PS - I've hacked my series1 TiVo to pieces and modded my xbox, so I'm pretty familiar with hardware/software/linux, but please feel free to treat me like a dummy and make any suggestions you have. :-)
