[QUOTE="Neumahn, post: 415497, member: 91332"] Thanks for your inputs. I think an SSD drive might be a great way to go for the OS and Programs. I have sent the copy of Vista back along with the Hauppauge tuner card. Instead I downloaded Windows 7 RC last night and bought a SiliconDust HDHomerun box that will stream two channels of HD over my Ethernet. This box is compatible with more software options than the Hauppauge card was. I think I will upgrade to the SSD card when this copy of Windows 7 expires and I need to do a new install sometime next year. By then the prices on the SSD cards should be more reasonable. I ordered a Clearstream C4 antenna today and canceled my DirecTV! I was going to use Windows Media Center but I have been looking at a few other options like MediaPortal. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I really like the skinning ability of MediaPortal but I am just not sure if it is going to be as capable at WMC. I looked at XBMC but was surprised that it did not seem to offer DVR capabilities. Thanks, Neumahn [/QUOTE]
