Post subject:  Frontend install Only

Hi All,

I'm new to Mythtv and Knopmyth and need a little guidance.

I want to install a single backend server with multiple (3) frontend machine.

I have the backend server it's and athlon 2600+ 1G DDR Ram. I need to know wich capture card will work well in this enviroment.

Also would like to know if a CGT-Allwell 233Mhz CPU and cryberpro 2010 tv-out is enough power for the frontend.

Now as for my install questions, from the documentation is seem easy to install the backend from the cd, but is there an install for a minimal frontend install ?

Thanks in advance

Hugues

A 233 MHz powerful enough for a frontend?! I doubt it... As for installing as a frontend only.... The magic 8-ball says:

use pvr cards and swap those systems around and you might be alright. The problem is everyone wants to use a low end machine for frontend, but that's where you need more power. As for that card and tvout never heard of it, so can't help you.

oh and for frontend only install look at the wiki

Hey that was quick...!

Well the GCT-Allwell STB-1036 is a setop-box with tv out. it works ok as a thin client machine, but beyond that I didn't think it would be enough for a frontend machine.

So I guess I better do more research before I post next time.

Thanks
