Search the mythtv forums for VIA and see what the consensus is I can't think of a single person that runs VIA chips on a mythtv box successfuly. everyone crashes or hardlocks. a lot of people have said that this indicates that VIA has crap PCI handling, no other mfg'rs have problems lthat I've heard of.

i run my mythtv on an nforce2 board.. works nice
