  • Check to make sure xvmc is working and hd programs do not shutter
  • Get digital audio working
  • install hdhomerun
  • work on getting svideo working to tv
  • put another gig in the frontend so it has a total of 2 gig
  • purchase another am2 motherboard and processor setup as a backend
  • tweak nvidia for performance (coolbits,etc)
  • correct res for mythdora
  • options in xorg.conf
  • program pronto or buy mce remote
  • /usr/local/pvr locations of scripts in mythdora
  • Try a few of the options that are commented out in the xorg.conf file
  • Hopefully I can get cpu usage down to 20% when playing back hd content
  • adjust modeline to try to get cpu usage down.

    • Ok if that is too obscure: Go into Setup -> TV Settings -> Playback. Set the prefered decoder to libmpeg2, the deinterlace option should be set to One Field.
