    Linux DVR Software?

    Am trying to do my homework concerning building a DVR so need to first decide what Linux software to use (MythTV, Freevo, VDR, LinuxMCE,...)

    Have been using a SA 8300HD with TW cable for >2yrs and my biggest complaint is the inability to do high speed HDD to HDD transfers for programs that I would like to archive.

    Appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has actually done this.

    Thanks

    Define "high speed".
    On large transfers most drives will max out at around 50-60 MB/sec (the limit of the head-disk transfer rate) after the effects of the buffer are overcome.

      PCBONEZ,

      "Define 'high speed'. On large transfers most drives will max out at around 50-60 MB/sec"

      That is fine with me.

      At present with the SA 8300HD all I can do is "Real Time" using Video and Audio Out jacks which is a "Real Pain".

      Hope you have tried something!

      Thanks
