[QUOTE="stefcep2, post: 194916, member: 58584"] No satellite, just terrestrial. Thanks for all your reponses. I was thinking along the same lines. Although the HTPC offers other things like emulation which i like, I think i will have to go the Panasonic PVR/burner because of its plug and play simplicity. Actually I'd priced up my HTPC components (Asus on board hdmi MB, 2G ram, 320g hd winfast 1000T tuner with a remote that ghas a mediaportal plug in, AMDX4000+X2 CPU, pioneer burner and HTPC case for $575Aus) and it would be cheaper to make a HTPC ( and in HD with 320g drive whereas the panasonic pvr/burner is only SD and 160g drive). The absolute must is to have schedule power on and off and reliabilty. I may end up getting both..eventually. Thanks again BTW can a PVR/DVD burner rip commercial dvd'sand CD's to the hard drive or is this illegal even if you have legitimately purchased the DVD/CD? [/QUOTE]
