Re: Windows Home Server In Detail

They should be copying Mythtv functionality.
Make the server the backend with all the TV cards (PCIe duals for obvious reasons) and just boot a frontend, whether it be a xBox360 or a slower spec PC with good video.

If you used the network boot method, maybe then you could run decent TV resolutions, because you're not running a desktop. If you ran it as a frontend, you have a desktop as well which can also be the GUI to the server.

I like the idea in principle, but will they do the same thing again....get it 80% right and let the community sort out the rest.
