Ok I have now removed my Rocket raid card, after I moved all the data onto an external drive.
I reconnected all my drives to the SATA ports on the motherboard and went back to windows. I formatted up all the drives and moved the data back on.
So good so far.
Firstly I needed to get the command line setup done.
My setup is one...

Hi,
You need a TV tuner card with a CI slot. Then you would need a CAM that would go into the CI Slot. The subscription card from your cable company goes into the CAM. You would have to make sure that the encryption system used by your cable company matches the CAM that you buy.
The CAM is similar in size to a PCMCIA card but it...

Yep, I've been pondering over a SSD alot... but (isn't there always a but?) I'm not really sure if its worth spending ~300€ for a 32 gb SSD, because SLC would absolutely be the way to go. MLC would be alot cheaper but iirc its way less durable.
Still, your comment got me thinking - what if I'd replace...

I already have a system connected to my HDTV running MediaPortal which was just pieced together from parts I had laying around and it works pretty well (haven't tested with HD content though). I want to build another HTPC for my other HDTV, but I have to do it extremely cheap (and I mean CHEAP!!!). Below is what I have priced from...

Hi there,
I actually tried out windows home server back when it was a beta, I found it just didn't work for TV recording. Well, not when your recording drive is part of the drive pool. So, if you are going to use home server I would recommend you have a dedicated hard drive outside of the drive pool for your recordings and...

On second thought, looks like it will be between one of these:
Pioneer 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model DVR-116DBK
Samsung 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model SH-S222A
Either is around $25. Reliability and performance is more important to me that saving a few dollars. I guess I'm leaning towards the Pioneer.
Since...

Okay.. Could I dare to think Media Portal could be "controlled" by the TV Box's remote?
[Edit] I noticed my media boxes remote can be programmed to command the TV, a plugged "recorder" of choice etc.
Would it be possible to program that remote to controll the PC through a IR USB Adapter?
Okay. I don't really want Tivo. Just wanna...

Definitely CPU power
Any reasonable modern GPU will do the job (H.264 decoding required)
but if you start to play with DVD to 1080p upscaling (ffdshow+avisynth filtering) you run out of CPU very very fast.

The DVD spec limits bit rate to something like 10Mbs. The best I have seen a 54g connection run at is about 20-25Mbs with a very good signal.
I dont think you will get anything like the quoted 54Mbs but you should get enough bandwidth.
From my own experiences I can stream DVDs and TV to wireless devices but there are occasional...

The CPU might be the reason.
Go into the BIOS and manually set the HT link to 1.8Ghz. Or use AMD OverDrive to adjust the HT3 frequency.
