I am now running a quite heavy server which is running ESXi and i was wondering if i could use a Raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone to run TVheadend as a server and provide my clients with a smooth live TV experience. As those mini PC's are very energy friendly.
My setup:
2x Sundtek MediaTV Pro USB2.0
1x Smargo Cardreader (Oscam)
My TVheadend server now runs on Ubuntu 13.04 Server. Recordings are done over NFS share to my Storage server which is also on the ESXi machine, which i want to replace as-well.
So i hope to get some user experience which could help me out if it is worth going in this direction.
