[QUOTE="Program.X, post: 23261, member: 15773"] Hi all, I stumbled on this from the TiVo forums, by someone else who has moved over. I thought if it is good enough for a TiVo user, it must be good ... I am looking to replace TiVo, as it is more or less a dead duck in the UK, and with the upcoming Sky HD service, I want to extract the best from my new LCD TV! I intend to collate all my MP3 playing from AudioTron, my Web/Email and my TiVo functionality into one box. So, a few questions, if I may ... 1/ I take it MP doesn't have the "learning" and wishlist functionality as standard. Is this available as an add-in? Or is it relatively simple to add a plug-in myself? I do have .NET 1.1/2.0 knowledge, though I may be able to tackle it. 2/ Can it be controlled over the web - ie. a cheap remote until I get round to buying one while tryingi t out? 3/ Is there an HCL for compatible remotes, cards, TV's, etc.? 4/ Can it access/archive networked storage? My MP3's are on a NAS, and I would be interested in archiving some programmes to NAS, or elsewhere. 5/ Whats the base recommended spec? I have a relatively decent computer hidden away somewhere I might use to try this out. If not, I would probably be forced to buy a new PC. I know there is a "minimum specs" page, but I would be interested in your impression of a what minimum experience represents and what I need to achieve it. Sorry for all the questions, hope you can help. [/QUOTE]
