[mythtvnz] Hi to the list, Here is my Mythtv Setup ..

[Tim Gibson]

HI all

Going through some growing pains with my mytvTV setup, started with a 250g
hdd (os, everything else), added a 500g hdd (backed up movies, music, tv to
keep).  Now I'm building up the parts to make up a NAS box based on the
Intel D945GCLF Atom motherboard $125 cpu onboard. Going to put the OS on an
8g flash card and move the 500g hdd into it and add a 750g hdd at the same
time.  Split the drives up so 250g on each to become RAID1 (250g mirrored
storage) and the remainder RAID0 so I end up with more initial storage space
than before also means I can add more drives later and expand the RAID0
array.

With all the music on this machine too I'll put squeezecentre on it for my
squeezebox, one less service running on the myth backend.  My older celeron
2.8 is having a hard time with the latest myth and yadf2x deinterlacing.
