Thanks very much, guys. I think that Peter is closest to the case study that I was hoping for, so I guess that the only question I have for you, Peter, is: what kind of compression are you using and what kind of quality video is resulting?
I'll admit that I need to do a little more research into exactly what quality of video I'd be...

Is there any reason to use Media Portal if I won Windows Media Center,
I read the reasons post, but I need a more personal answer...
GBPVR and networked media tank is an option but I think functionality is limited.
The problem I found with most of the extenders is that they dont do HDTV.
Im looking at using something likethe EEBox or AsRock ion both of these are still computers but they are small and supposed to be able to handle HDTV.

that's alright, i'd figured out the primary/secondary thing and any major problems i had i search for, that was just a general list of things that were probably affecting everyone and seemed to need improvement, didn't know where it would fit really and a "media portal is great" post made most sense, as it is. 8)

Thanks to all who replied! I'll probably go for a Sempron64. I need a new mainboard anyway, because the current one only supports SD-RAM and the combination of a P4 and slow SD-RAM did not really boost the performance. :wink:

My HTPC has a wired ethernet connection to a Mac and the Mac HD is mounted as a network drive on the HTPC using the built in SMB sharing of Mac OS X. Any video files that play from this share has a wait time, almost as if MP is buffering the data. The wait time is directly related to the length of the video, so a five minute video...

thanks. i'll look out for the auto tv thing, or try the home thing if it doesn't work.
it actually had tetris stuck as default for a while, i never figured out why. thought it might have been to do with the last plugin selected when you exit the program, but it didn't work when i tried it with other stuff.
nah, i've not posted...

It will do both hardware analogue and dvb-t recordings + FM radio of course. The only downside as mentioned in another thread was its not capable of doing both at the sametime so technically it can do the job of 2 different card types, it cant do it as well.

Just wanted to let you know I and my wife are using the TV guide even though we don't have a tv card (yet) in the computer!

Take a look at the "MyBurner" plugin. Even if you don't have a burner, it can still automatically convert a DVR-MS file to MPEG at the end of a recording. It's very fast too, as all it has to do is remove the wrapping.
I'm pretty sure it's built into MP.

I use two Compro t-300s. You can get these cards for $129 each and they also have an analoge tuner. It's only software analoge though, so you still need a trusty PVR 150 but if you want a very good cheap all purpose card then these are a great buy.

MCE and MP can coexist on the same machine. Just so you know, if the MCE service is running, MP may not be able to access your TV cards.
