[17:57] <Seeker`> woo, new backend PC ordered :D
[17:58] <likwid--> im waiting on delivery on mine right now :/  probaby next week
[20:33] <Seeker`> tomorrow morning for me :D
[20:34] <Seeker`> Any problems with mythbuntu 64-bit?
[20:34] <Seeker`> or any reason not to use it over 32-bit?
[20:34] <dekarl> it can do more than 2gig memory without tricks?
[20:35] <Seeker`> dekarl: that isn't a reason not to use 64-bit :P
[20:35] <dekarl> uhh, I'm running 64bit mythbuntu, so it's pro ;)
[20:36] <Seeker`> found anything that doesn't work?
[20:36] <dekarl> and it's working fine at the family, too. Unless you got strange old hardware with icky drivers...
[20:37] <Seeker`> hauppauge nova-t 500
[20:37] <dekarl> runs fine there and here
[20:37] <Seeker`> which is pretty well supported it seems
[20:37] <Seeker`> everything else is brand new
[20:37] <dekarl> everything else == supported by linux? then go... :)
[20:38] <dekarl> what graphics processor are you going to use? Nvidia with hardware decoder or software decoding?
[20:40] <Seeker`> already got a frontend running .Basically splitting out the backend in to a seperate computer
[20:41] <Seeker`> but my fronted uses a GT430
[20:41] <dekarl> I see, only tried acpi wakeup with 32bit yet, but that should be no issue either...
[20:42] <dekarl> gt430 means NVidia with vpdau decode enabled?
[20:43] <dekarl> why 32bit on the frontend?
[20:43] <dekarl> because it's been setup back then?
[20:46] <likwid--> seeker, tell me about the gt430, thats what i have coming
[20:47] <Seeker`> dekarl: yes, it is vpdau
[20:47] <Seeker`> dekarl: and its been running for a few years
[20:47] <Seeker`> likwid--: works well, handles everything but really really high profile 1080p
[20:47] <likwid--> bluray?
[20:48] <likwid--> also, does sound work through your hdmi?
[20:49] <likwid--> or are you even outputing through hdmi
[20:50] <Seeker`> yup, using HDMI in to an AV receiver
[20:50] <Seeker`> I've got Blurays I have ripped to hard drive
[20:50] <Seeker`> and they play back fine
[20:51] <Seeker`> well, a little stuttering now and then, but nothing really noticable
[20:51] <Seeker`> only problem with mythtv is that it takes up to 60 seconds or so to start playing
[20:54] <Seeker`> likwid--: all in all, I'm very happy with it
[20:55] <likwid--> awesome
[21:00] <likwid--> how much ram?
[21:01] <likwid--> http://pastebin.com/bCcKpaTn

[21:01] <likwid--> thats what i was going to use frontend/backend
[21:02] <likwid--> ive got hdhomerun device and will be using firewire for teh cablebox
[21:11] <Seeker`> bah, got a wireless access point to connect my mythtv frontend/backend together
[21:11] <Seeker`> claims to support 150mbps wireless
[21:11] <Seeker`> but the built in switch only supports 10/100 ethernet
[21:11] <Seeker`> what is the point in that?
[21:12] <Seeker`> woo, it can send and recieve at 150mbps,but you'll never get more than 100mbps in to or out of it
[21:12] <dekarl> 100mbit wired are 100mbit, 150mbit wireless are, well up to 150mbit only on cloudy days at full moon ;)
[21:12] <dekarl> but mostly no more then 50mbit (or thereabout) net throughput
[21:13] <likwid--> ive got cables running under the house where the coax was already running, little switches in various places
[21:13] <Seeker`> rented property ftl :(
[21:13] <likwid--> hell i even have one of those gig powerline adapters.  im not sure if it does full gig
[21:13] <Zinn> likwid--: Please watch your language.
[21:14] <likwid--> but i can definitely max out my cable modem from it
[21:54] <patdk-lap> Seeker`,  you do know that 150mbps wireless only goes 72mbps max?
[21:54] <patdk-lap> cause that 150mbps is one way speed, and well, you need two way traffic
[21:55] <patdk-lap> that is why 100mbit is more than enoughfor it
