LinHES is of course based on KnoppMyth, but the setup I +describe can be accomplished with any Linux distro and MythTV. My +setup consists of a master and slave backend. My master backend is +in my bedroom and it is used to store all recorded programs. My +slave backend is in my living room. It's primary function is to +entertainment visitors. Both backends are hooked up to a TV via, +TV out(SVIDEO). SBE is also hooked to a Kenwood receiver w/ +surround(works w/o additional tweaking!). NFS is used to share the files +between the systems.<br> + + + <br> + + +MBE hardware:<br> + + +Chaintech 7NIF2 w/ Athlon XP 2400+<br> + + +512 megabytes of RAM<br> + + +120 gigabyte hard drive<br> + + + <a href="http://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_350.html">Hauppauge +PVR 350</a><br> + + + <a href="http://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_250.html">Hauppauge +PVR 250</a><br> + + +DVD-ROM drive<br> + + + <br> + + +SBE hardware:<br> + + +Asus A7N266 w/ Athlon XP 1800+<br> + + +512 megabytes of RAM<br> + + +160 gigabyte hard drive<br> + + +nVidia Geforce 4-440mx w/ TV out<br> + + +Hauppauge WinTV model 401<br> + + +AverMedia M179<br> + + +DVD-ROM drive<br> + + +2 Logitech Wingman Wireless rumblepad<br> + + + <a href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/remotes.php">RadioShack +15-2116 universal remote</a><br> + + + <br> + + + <span style="font-style: italic;">Installation</span>:<br> + + + <br> + + + I performed an auto install on MBE, while SBE +was installed manual (I wanted /cache no larger than 5 gigs).
