[QUOTE="mague, post: 421723, member: 91752"] Hello, i am planning to use a Hauppauge Nova S-plus on a Intel Atom330. My screen is a 1280x1024 LCD. I want a single box solution with access to a NAS. I do not need lots of features. Just Sat TV, AVI/MP4/MKV and DVD once in a while. I dont record TV much. The main goal is to get rid of 3 remote controls and merge TV, video and DVD into one device ;) I dont need HD support. I searched this forum an it seems this will work out well. I have a few questions though.. How well is scaling working ? Some Sat channels are HD or HD ready, others are good old PAL. Will the Atom board and the GMA 950 be fine when scaling HD widescreen down to 1280pix ? Does Mediaportal have adjustable scaling ? I have a huge collection of digitized VHS movies. I digitized them 1:1 which includes the overscan (if someone still remembers overscan ;) ) I tried SesamTV and its video player has realtime scaling. Its possible to scale the picture with the cursor keys or up/down on the remote. That way i can scale those old overscan videos to fit and look like VHS on PAL. Unfortunately SesamTV doesnt seem to support my Nova S-plus. Is the video player able to access the file system using the remote control ? I am not a big fan of databases tbh. I just want to access drives and folders and play the movies on them. Be it NAS or USB stick or whatever is available. I am getting almost daily legal AVI and just want to plug the USB stick in and watch them. Usually i delete them afterwards. Right now i use the notebook for this, but really want to merge this all into one remote controlled TV set. Is it possible to use an external movie player ? While i probably could bear with the codec insanity i really would like to use mplayer and forget about all the codes ;) If it is possible, do the external players listen to the remote control when having focus ? Is the Hauppauge remote sufficient or should i buy a MCE remote ? Thanks in advance :) Oh.. does standby/wake up work well with the intel atom board. And did anyone try to use a atom 230 board ? The easier i can cool it the less noise ;) [/QUOTE]
