[mythtvnz] Asus Mycinema won't tune in Mythtv

[Joel Wiramu Pauling]

My original post still stands use VLC to interface with card directly
(in command line mode) - and push it over the network or file then
check it if you can't decode it on the box.

2* 1080p streams is more than enough to cram up the IO subsystem
switching between pci bus, disc io and network on older hardware.

Go look up the duron and chipset arch and do some sums.

It's the same reason you can't run good performance out of older
ARM/MIPs based NAS devices (cheap ones on the market) they simply
can't sustain r/w io from the discs or the network from the cpu bus.
