[mythtvnz] Acer Revo RL100

[Kerry Baker]

I'll try to answer all your questions here:

Noise:  Virtually silent!  If you listen closely you can hear the hard
drive working.  My home theatre amp has a fan and it makes more noise than
the Revo!

Linux and Blu Ray: As far as I am aware, with Linux the disc has to be
ripped to the hard drive, removing encryption which is a pain in the arse.
 If it could be reliably played directly from the disc I would ditch
Windows altogether.  To be honest I think Blu Ray could be more trouble
than its worth.  The DRM is so onerous it practically encourages piracy.

AverMedia tuner:  This is a PCI Express mini card.  It could be replaced
but I'm not sure if any mini cards are Linux compatible.  I didn't spend a
great deal of time trying to get it to work as I have the HDHomeRun.  If
anyone has taken the time to get it working I'd love to know about it!


Anything else you want to know?

Kerry.
