.. LG GSA-H10N, 3x250 Seagate HDD in LVM (via the included lvm sh script), no graphics card, using 350's tvout, sound directly from 350, silver remote worked out of the box.. combined backend-front end.. dyndns so I can schedule from work:)

Went R5c rather than 'd' bcs of problems noted with 'd' and the 350's tv-out...

Noise pretty good actually. Can hardly hear it from +2 metres.

Installed a couple of weeks ago, every aspect worked out of the box! but of course I couldn't leave well enuf alone, so I've tried various stupid things and ended up using the wiki and forums search a lot to fix mysql problems - but all due to mistakes on my part, nothing to do with the system/install, which was flawless.

Totally awesome, my heartfelt thanks Cecil, tlc, et al! And my family's too!

Have started to use xbmcmythtv for front end, and I think the picture quality may be even better than the 350's. Heartily recommend either the 350 or xbmcmythtv if, like me, you live in an SD world, particularily if you're a little short on CPU power...

will hopefully be getting a Viewsat FTA receiver soon to add-on, will post lircd if/once it's working...

Aside: been trying for years to convince family and friends to just try Linux on the desktop or as a file server with no luck... one look at the Mythweb and they're beating down the door ...

It would be helpful if you could fill out the template from the sticky posting: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10955 It makes these recommendations far more useful to other folks looking to follow your "recipe for success".

Thanks.
