My aim is to get a htpc that can do the following: - Dual tuner (DVB-S2) - Record TV - Watch TV (obviously) - Watch movies / DVD's, etc via NAS (SMB Share or NFS link) - Use a smartcard so I can watch encrypted channels I currently have the following hardware in mind: Processor: AMD Fusion AMD A4-3400 Boxed Cooling: Scythe Shuriken Rev.
