My mythbox is being turned off, so I wanted to share some numbers with
you all.
Feel free to show your own stats too.

Must have had some clock weirdness over time - to be expected
eventually, I guess.


The box started as an intel P3 at 666 MHz with 512 MB ram in 2005
with 3x 30 GB Maxtor drives for data, and a 40 GB Seagate drive for root.
I started with a single analogue IVTV capture card and acquired two
Skystar2 DVB cards over time.

In 2006 became a P3 @ 866MHz with 1GB.

And in 2010 I bought a new Pentium 2140 at 1.2 GHz and board with 2 GB
ram.  This is what it still is, apart from a 10 Gbit nic in 2020.

I also used it as a BackupPC host for a long time.

At various points the disk storage was upsized, and finishes with ~5TB
of local drive and 8TB of data storaged on the NAS.
That 5TB is a 3TB + two 2TB in a raid1, combined using LVM.  You can see
the progress of my knowledge over time right there.

From that it would seem that a lot of kid's TV was recorded.



Curiously, the original 40 GB root drive is still in service. There are
153,000 hours of active spinning time on this disk according to
smartctl, which is 17 years 6 months 9 days.
The SMART self test can only go to 65k hours so its gone around that
clock twice.

Why am I giving up on mythTV ?   The hardware is old and could pack up
anytime.  Noone here watches TV any more - notice "last recording" was
march 29 and nobody noticed.
And the listings change was the final motivation to turn it off and save
some power.
