successfully “reconfigured” an old computer, keeping the
original 500GB hard drive, but installing new motherboard,
CPU, SSD and 3TB HD. I have downloaded Ubuntu, now booting
from the SSD, and have successfully partitioned the hard
drives. Following the instructions on the MythTV wiki, I
have downloaded the “MythTV Backend Master” package, since I
wish to use this computer as a separate backend, and this
process seemed to complete without any problems. However,
when I attempt to follow the next instructions for
“Configuring MythTV” and “MythTV backend setup” (via either
the terminal or the Display Manager) the process fails. The
instructions say that I will be prompted for Country and
Language, but this does not happen, and I cannot see how to
proceed further.<o:p></o:p></li>

So you want a slave backend to hold more recordings? I'd just move
all the disk into your main backend and keep it simple.<br>
<br>
If you want a second backend for doing additional recordings then
I've never done that. However it should be possible.<br>

No, but I tried an HP thin client running android and the app
support wasn't there. I ended up with a pre-used Acer Revo (a quad
core atom with Nvidia Ion chipset) which has done sterling service
for the past ~4 years. Only downside is it has a fan and collects
dust, and I have to leave it on because the household won't turn on
the monitor and then wait for the PC to boot.<br>
