Log Message:
Moved Hardware information onto a seperate page, and added a link to the
PVR hardware database: http://pvrhw.goldfish.org

<h2><a name="Hardware">Hardware</h2>
<h4>System Requirements</h4>
A 400 MHz class CPU is sufficient for a low-end system to play music,
movies and watch TV.
<h4>Graphics Board</h4>
Almost any graphics board can be used. Freevo uses
<a href="http://www.libsdl.org";>SDL</a> which supports X11, FB, etc.
<h4>Video Capture and Compression</h4>
Any Video4Linux1/2 compatible board, which includes the popular
Hauppage WinTV boards. There is also support for recording via the
Hauppauage PVR cards, provided they are based on the <a
href="http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/";>ivtv</A>-chipset.
<br/>
VCD-quality video compression can be in software via mp1e even on a Celeron 400, but
higher quality compression
like MPEG-2 or Divx/Xvid require a more powerful machine.
<h4>Soundcard</h4>
Any OSS or ALSA compatible board. It helps if it can support
the sample-rates that will be used for movies and music. DVDs for instance
use 48 KHz which some older soundcards do not support.
Depending on your card, digital AC3 output is supported by Freevo.
<h4>Remote Control (Optional)</h4>
A remote is not necessary if the keyboard can be used instead.
It is pretty easy to build an RS232 infra-red
<a href="images/ir_receiver.jpg">receiver board</a> for your remote control. It works
with <a href="http://www.lirc.org";>lirc</a>, where you can also find
the <a href="http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html";>schematics</a>.
It works with most remotes.
<p>
Some <a href="http://www.hauppage.com";>WinTV</a> boards have builtin IR
receivers for the bundled remote. It should also work with
<a href="http://www.lirc.org";>lirc</a>.
<p>
If you don't want to build a receiver yourself, you can buy one for $35
<h2><a name="Configurations">Configurations</h2>
<p>
An industrious person has setup a hardware database where people can show
configurations of hardware that they have used with PVR software running
on Linux.
