[QUOTE="martoq, post: 47986, member: 16593"] Hey guys, somewhat new to MP. I checked it out a year ago hoping to replace my STB but the technology still isn't there for that do to HD encryption from TW and all that other fun stuff. So what I wanted to now know is this: Is MP a viable replacement for TiVO? I currently have a SA-8300HD and the software on it just blows cookies. I want to use a real DVR. But I want the same functionality, meaning, I want to be able to record in HD audio AND video, have multiple tuners (1 watch, 2 record just like my 8300). So the question is, can I do it with MP? And if so, there are a few peices of hardware I am most interested in, 1. The HD video card? I haven't seen any 2 tuner HD cards out there that are decent. 2. The HD audio card? Any recommendations? I was under the impression I wouldn't need one. 3. The IR. I am a little confused as to how my DVR will work with my existing STB to get it to the channels it needs to be at AND handle the multiple HD signals. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
