Hi,<div>I'm keen to know about any experience with a D525 also, I'm look at the Zotac ID34 (Blu-Ray) mini.</div><div>Tim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 June 2011 19:02, Kerry Baker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kerry.baker@orcon.net.nz">kerry.baker@orcon.net.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've been a mythtv user for several years. I have been successfully using<br>
a VIA SP13000 system as a frontend/backend combo with a DVB-S PCI tuner.<br>
<br>
I've been thinking its time to HD my setup esp as XvMC support for Mythtv<br>
is being discontinued.<br>
<br>
I like the idea of a self-contained frontend/backend system that is quiet<br>
so have been considering basing it on an Asus AT5IONT-I mobo -- mini-ITX<br>
form factor with passively cooled D525 dual-core Atom CPU with Nvidia ION<br>
chipset.<br>
I also need an HD tuner. PCIe cards with Linux drivers seem hard to come<br>
by and mini-itx cases often don't have a lot of room so I am considering a<br>
USB tuner. HDHomeRun also seems like a good possibility tho and perhaps<br>
more versatile.<br>
<br>
I am putting this out there to see what you other experts think. I<br>
welcome alternative hardware suggestions.<br>
I'm also interested in learning about any "gotchas" (e.g. driver or mythtv<br>
issues) with this setup and other peoples experiences with similar<br>
hardware. (My Via setup has been successful for me but it was a b*tch to<br>
set up in the first place! I don't want a repeat!)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance guys and gals!<br>
<br>
Kerry.<br>
