I vote for a fest somewhere soon. I have Atom 330 and Atom 510 "book" PCs w/ Ion chipset to play with and would appreciate some training wheels to get them configured.<br> <br>GC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 9:20 PM, H P Ladds <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:householdwords@gmail.com">householdwords@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Perhaps it is time time to crank up another MythTV
InstallFest? The MythTV Yahoo Group -- MUCH (discussed
earlier) originated out of a MythTV InstallFest. That had to
be about 2+ years ago. <br>

I've attempted to install MythTV 3 times since 2000 and failed to
get it configured each time. About two weeks ago, I did an apt-get
purge myth* yet again. I have never asked for help, so it
definitely is my fault.<br>
<br>
I can't bring my media/storage server to an install fest, but I can
bring a dual-core netbook and <b>Hauppauge 950Q</b> to learn the
finer points of installation. I <i><b>intend</b></i> to get a <b>dual
HD-HomeRun ATSC+QAM</b> tuner the next time they get cheap. I
regret not buying on Black Friday. ;(<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>Everyone who has one of these seems to love them.

My ideal installation would be MythTV running inside a KVM VM and
accessing/writing media on a NFS mount or iSCSI SAN. Am I dreaming?<br>
</div>
<br></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>In theory, it should work. The NFS is certainly no problem; in fact, it's nearly mandatory in some instances. Basic MythTV operations are not particularly cpu intensive, and therefore probably would be OK in a VM. However; if you are going to do more advanced MythTV stuff (like transcoding), then MythTV and VM would be a pretty CPU intensive. <br>
<br>Check out MUCH @ <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/MUCH_Att" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/MUCH_Att</a> -- I've seem some stellar advice provided there. It's a small group of local MythTVers. Also it would be the place to rally support for a MythTV InstallFest. <br>
