RE: Virtualisation

[David Balharrie <davidj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would expect this to put around 15% CPU load onto a single core box
as it's just needing to record the MPEG stream.  It would be interesting to
hear if anyone on the list has one of these.  Sadly there doesn't appear to
be a cable or satellite version for the UK yet.

Thanks Dave, the HDHomeRun looks viable, although I wonder what load
"recording" puts on the host PC? I currently use GBPVR on a
Windows 2003
server machine with 2 freeview and 1 cable tuner cards and recording 2
freeview transport streams and 1 program on the cable tuner simultaneously
puts neglible load on the machine.
