Mar 26 16:45:10 <salmanh_> hi, has anyone been able to install mythtv on the slug?
Mar 26 16:48:54 <barnseenio> not me!
Mar 26 16:49:13 <barnseenio> wouldnt that mean it have a tv card in the slug?
Mar 26 16:49:19 <mwester> er, what part?
Mar 26 16:49:48 <salmanh_> barnseenio, well lets say you have the HDHomeRun tuner that can pump the video on the ethernet
Mar 26 16:50:07 <salmanh_> mythtv and hdhomerun are supposed to be interoperable
Mar 26 16:50:47 <salmanh_> so i could have a very power-efficient setup... HDHomeRun and a slug
Mar 26 16:51:26 <mwester> Ok, so the HDthingy puts video on the ethernet.  What would the slug do?
Mar 26 16:52:15 <salmanh_> yes, hdhomerun, costs about $170 and has two HD tuners and a 100mbit/s port
Mar 26 16:52:48 <salmanh_> the slug would be the mythtv backend.... it would have a high-capacity drive to store the media
Mar 26 16:53:20 <salmanh_> and then computers around the house can view the media from the slug which is now essentially a pvr
Mar 26 16:53:57 <salmanh_> hdhomerun: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Silicondust_HDHomeRun
Mar 26 16:54:26 <salmanh_> mythtv+nslu2: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Myth_On_NSLU2
Mar 26 16:54:42 <mwester> Not enough "ooomph" in the slug for that application; I/O is insufficient to handle HD video
Mar 26 16:56:39 <salmanh_> mwester, that's what i am trying to ascertain... are you suggesting this based on actual experience or are just fairly confident that the slug won't have the ooomph
Mar 26 16:59:24 <barnseenio> i've used a slug to dish up HD content via mediatomb to a PC. cant be sure of the bitrate of the HD though, probly lowish as it was a 'scene' release HD film
Mar 26 17:00:13 <barnseenio> oh, and you couldnt fastforward/rewind :/
Mar 26 17:00:25 <barnseenio> although this may have been a limitation between upnp/xbmc
Mar 26 17:04:36 <salmanh_> barnseenio, i'm not familiar with mediatomb... is it a pvr software too?
Mar 26 17:05:36 <barnseenio> no
Mar 26 17:05:43 <barnseenio> upnp media streamer
Mar 26 17:07:24 <salmanh_> barnseenio, so you had mediatomb installed on the slug?
Mar 26 17:07:29 <barnseenio> have
Mar 26 17:08:19 <salmanh_> barnseenio, gotcha
Mar 26 17:13:57 <salmanh_> barnseenio, thanks for the info...i'll research into how mediatomb ties in with mythtv
Mar 26 17:22:29 <Zedde> Hello, do any of you know where you can finde the power use for a AMD 1500+ CPU ? ( going to see if I can run my on a nano psu ) 
Mar 26 17:38:21 <asa_> hi@all
Mar 26 17:40:41 <ShadowJK> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors
Mar 26 17:40:42 <ShadowJK> 60W
Mar 26 17:41:01 <ShadowJK> Consider the other components in your system also, such as motherboard, ram, harddrive, usb, firewire and so on...
Mar 26 17:42:42 <Zedde> ya I found that page but it said TDP and something that your cooling system need to handel 
Mar 26 17:43:03 <Zedde> The Thermal Design Power (TDP) (sometimes called Thermal Design Point) represents the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.
Mar 26 17:44:43 <Zedde> I'm abit noobish 
Mar 26 17:45:09 <ShadowJK> on average it'll use less, but the Watt rating of a PSU isn't the average it can supply, it's the peak it can supply
Mar 26 17:45:33 <Zedde> okay as I thought using a 120W PSU 
Mar 26 17:46:24 <Zedde> it's for a router  :) 
Mar 26 18:00:49 <Zedde> ShadowJK: Thanks for the help 
Mar 26 18:01:54 <ShadowJK> underclock it :-)
Mar 26 19:35:51 <atari> are there intensions to port nslu2-linux to the zyxel nsa-220?
Mar 26 23:41:42 <eno> damn tigerdirect, my slug order gets cancelled
Mar 26 23:41:50 <Reedy> :(
Mar 26 23:54:11 <mwester> So did mine.  And they sent me some stupid link for $10 off, but I have to spend $200 with them.
Mar 26 23:55:16 <Reedy> blarrgh
Mar 26 23:55:29 <Reedy> If they were cheap over here, i'd buy quite a few, but there still full price
Mar 26 23:55:32 <Reedy> which i dont get
