[mythtvnz] Hardware

[Douglas Pearless]

If you are expecting to be able to view Freeview (i.e. High Definition), 
then you need a NVIDIA 8400 or 9400 with 512MB of Video memory (for 
VDPAU) so that most of the processing is taken off the CPU, as well as a 
HD tuner  (e.g. Hauppauge NOVA-T 500 dual tuner).

The unit might just make the grade, not sure how it will cope but it 
sounds a little under powered...
Cheers
Douglas.
