Inexpensive Sage TV Server
I am currently looking at setting up my in-laws with SageTV, but they have a pretty small budget. I've read several threads about people building their SageTV servers... but i haven't found the exact scenario that I am looking for.
At the bare minimum, they need something that will process recording two HD streams from an HD Homerun and watching a recording on a HD300. It would be preferable to run Comskip, which I realize will be the thing that needs processing power. However, as long as it gets the job done, I don't think it matters that Comskip runs slow. For example, it's likely they will record a show and watch it the next day (enough time for Comskip to do it's thing). I would prefer to buy a pre-built system like maybe a low end Zotac ZBOX. Thoughts?

Pretty much any CPU in production now (or for the last 4 years) will provide that functionality. the MPEG2 recordings from the HDHomeRun are very easy to analyse with comskip, and atom 330 or d510 would do VERY well, and sip power/space as well.

I like to know how well this works for you, so please update this thread when you get it set up for your in-laws.
For the Zotac ZBOX, which is faster, the Intel Celeron SU2300 (1.2GHz, dual-core) or the Intel Atom D510 CPU (1.66 GHz, dual-core)?

I think they are pretty much on par performance wise, though I think the advantage of the pine trail platform gives the edge to the atom for this type of usage (pine trail has VERY low power usage). cost as well.
