<p>Must have had some clock weirdness over time - to be expected
eventually, I guess.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The box started as an intel P3 at 666 MHz with 512 MB ram in 2005<br>
with 3x 30 GB Maxtor drives for data, and a 40 GB Seagate drive
for root.<br>
I started with a single analogue IVTV capture card and acquired
two Skystar2 DVB cards over time.<br>
</p>
<p>In 2006 became a P3 @ 866MHz with 1GB.</p>
<p>And in 2010 I bought a new Pentium 2140 at 1.2 GHz and board with
2 GB ram. This is what it still is, apart from a 10 Gbit nic in
2020.</p>
<p>I also used it as a BackupPC host for a long time.<br>
</p>
<p>At various points the disk storage was upsized, and finishes with
~5TB of local drive and 8TB of data storaged on the NAS.<br>
That 5TB is a 3TB + two 2TB in a raid1, combined using LVM. You
can see the progress of my knowledge over time right there.<br>
</p>
<p><img src="cid:part1.gxg3Jlq0.NyT0n8Jn@criggie.org.nz" alt=""></p>
<p>From that it would seem that a lot of kid's TV was recorded.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
Curiously, the original 40 GB root drive is still in service.
There are 153,000 hours of active spinning time on this disk
according to smartctl, which is 17 years 6 months 9 days.<br>
The SMART self test can only go to 65k hours so its gone around
that clock twice.<br>

<p>Why am I giving up on mythTV ? The hardware is old and could
pack up anytime. Noone here watches TV any more - notice "last
recording" was march 29 and nobody noticed.<br>
And the listings change was the final motivation to turn it off
and save some power.<br>
