If you can getting a cheap graphics card can give you an extended life on
the Pentium dual core, just make sure it supports decoding functions.
something like the nvidia 720 or AMD R5 or R7 low end gpu's.
Read up on drivers based on the multimedia application or solution you will
be using.

Stephen, the only thing I plan on doing with this computer is streaming
videos over a local LAN and display them on a smartTV. So would I need it
if I wouldn't be using the computer itself?

Sounds as if XBMC might be a good solution.
for a dedicated server download and install mX-14 if no load- At the menu
screen, press 'e' to edit and then use the arrows keys to navigate to the
line that begins linux boot etc and go to the end of that line (make sure
you leave a space after ro)
If you want the computer to transcode on the fly maybe. At this point you
are making a streaming file server and disk performance is likely to be
your limit. You can look up plex. They have a very nice service to stream
and transcode on the fly. Works as a dlna endpoint as well as a plex
service.
I would heavily recommend that you don't use a regular computer to just
stream video. Instead I would get a low power ARM based single board
computer. The reason being that the full computer will quickly, within
a couple of months, use so much power that you could have have purchased
the SBC
I am a bit confused with the topic.
The book Linux Toys gives a cookbook recipe for building a Linux based
Digital Video Recorder. Is that what we are building here?
The book was written before the analog to digital conversion.
I know a couple of members in the group have been working on this
I would appreciate some guidance troubleshooting a problem on my computer.

I'd install XBMC as that gives you (almost) every modern show that has been
produced. hm local programming too if your local to pitsburg (or
somewhere back east).

I seem to remember at a PLUG meeting that we were told that all kernels are
designed to be backwards compatible with a i386. Is that still the case?
Was it done for hardware compatibility?

OK, so XBMC/Kodi is the software that processes the video.
To get off the air programs you need a TV Tuner to convert the digital
TV signal.
Has anyone had any experience with a TV Tuner under Linux?
Hauppauge seems to be mentioned, but Linux support is not specifically
mentioned, nor have
