I've ordered a 1TB disk to add to the current 750GB of storage in the present combined backend/frontend. I have also ordered an additional USB dual tuner, digital tv adaptor. This will take the minimum possible concurrent recordings up to 4, with the option to record several more per tuner, as long as the channels are on the same multiplex. I may well limit it to 4 recordings anyway, as I am not sure how well the current AMD 3000 processor will cope.
My plan is to move this to the 19" rack in the garage and install a new, quiet and low power front end under the TV in the lounge.
With this in mind, I have ordered a Acer Revo 3610 (above), Atom 330 Dual Core, 1gb ram 160gb, hdd. This is a small 'nettop' box for about £150 running Linux. To control this I have ordered a MCE infra red remote control from Maplin.
I will be installing MythTV 0.22 on both of these. Not sure yet if I will attempt to upgrade the 0.21 install on the current box or just start again.
