My Current Mythtv setup


I am currently running the following hardware for mythtv.

  • Backend/frontend with 3 freeview turners and 400G video storage, desplaying on a 32inch LCD using DIV connection.  The hardware is built in a P180 case and has Silenx 120mm fans to keep everything  reasonable quite (as this machine sits at the end of my bed).  Control is via a usb keyboard and a wireless mouse.
  • Frontend is running on a old Xbox with a Xecuter 3 Mod chip.  This has a cronwell boot loader and boots up linux fc4.  Display is via RBG to my 32inch toshiba CRT.  Control is done via a BTC9019 wireless keyboard in integraded joystick to do mouse functions
I have also built a machine on my old AMD950Mhz machine, this is currently lent to my brother until he supplies me some hardware of his own.

I also intend to build a filestore machine to expand my storage to 1.2TeraBytes.  This will have 4x 400G disks on SATA connected via raid5. My old backend will still do all the recording, but save the files to the filestore.  I am currently waiting for the price of seagate 400G SATA disks to drop.

Finally if you are viewing this page on my home machine or have a SSH tunnel to my home machine then schedule some programs on Mythweb
