[QUOTE="VdR, post: 660238, member: 25818"] If I where you, I would seriously consider going for a seperate server and clients. My MP experience since I split the two is so much better. That is; very stable, no issue with recordings when there is an issue with a client or I'm fiddling with it, no noise from drives used for streaming or timeshifting. I put quite something into my server, but with hindsight that wasn't necessary. I thought I would be using it to encode video, but I never do. Instead I use a lot of disc space. The clients can be simple (low cost). One of mine is a Zotac MAG, it plays HD content without any problems. I'm contemplating to replace my HP HTPC with a Zotac because it is so nice and small. Two side notes: The user interface is slower on the Zotac (1.6 Ghz Atom) compared to the HP (Pentium HT), but it is not disturbing. I do not have HD TV, I can't confirm that the ION could de-interlace 1080i). VdR [/QUOTE]
