I've enjoyed playing around with your media portal program since Christmas. I got a Hauppauge Nova-T card and an AC3 / 5.1 Creative Audigy sound card to go with my Comaq Presario Pentium 4, 2.66GHz 120GB Desktop.
I also invested in a lot of new cabling as I'm running everything off the PC in the dining room but watching on our widescreen TV in the living room. The S-Video output seems to be the best quality I can achieve and it looks acceptable if not brilliant. And I've fitted a TV signal distribution box / amp fitted in the loft.
I'm now considering a dedicated 500GB hard drive to store our videos / pics / mp3's etc. My question is (finally
would an external USB hard drive work well and would it be able to deliver movies etc at the required rate / performance etc.?
Cheers for any thoughts etc
