[QUOTE="Vimes, post: 865165, member: 87494"] The market, if I read correctly, for standalone type media boxes, in which you fit your own hard drive, is a growing one. I would not be too sure if an "average" user would want the expense or have the skills and inclination to build and maintain an HTPC over that of a standalone type box, even if a fully configured MP box could include a TV type recorder as well. I have flipped over to using XBMC and have bought a cheap HD Freeview box for my TV needs. This box cost me less than 40 UK pounds and can also accept a USB stick or HD to record all the TV I would want to. I love my HTPC but people who have seen what it can do are both astounded and overwhelmed at what is needed to build one, both technically and financially. [/QUOTE]
