[QUOTE="mightymauz, post: 785283, member: 115354"] Hi guys, I am new to MP and I would like to ask for some advice. I would like to ask for if my wishes are possible and to ask for a hardware advice. I would like to use MP to make myself mobile and have the ability to view and record tv programs on the road.
