The MythTV devs do not support virtualisation - they have found it
causes too many problems.  Although I have seen several people on the
mailing list saying they have the backend virtualised.

Personally, I have 4 PCs 24x7 at my place (my MythTV box, my mother's
MythTV box, my old OS/2 server box, and my Windows box).  But the
power bill would be scary if I was having to pay it ($340 for
October).
