Post subject:  FE/BE for analog SD and OTA HDTV

Specs for my new Frontend/Backend HD capable mythbox

AMD BE-2400 (2.3Mhz Dual core, low power version of the 4400+)
ASUS M2N-E Motherboard (NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP - AM2)
2GB Ram
MSI Nvidia NX7300GS, 256MB Fanless
2 Hard Drives, Recordings go to one and the OS and database is on the other
2 PVR 150s connected to analog cable
1 PVR 250 connected to a digital cable box
1 HDHomerun connected to an OTA antenna

The only problem I had was not related to knoppmyth but still had me pulling my hair out. The motherboard did not select the proper ram voltage and was undervolting it causing the frontend to lockup randomly (although mostly while watching HDTV). Once I set the ram voltage correctly all the hardware worked fine.

HDTV looks great and I am not using XVMC. HDTV here is mpeg2 and requires about 8GB of storage per hour.
