Re: [DVR] Set Top Box price increase said by Onedollar:Thanks i just checked and see the same thing..... Centon here i come read before you buy, I did , it's still too problematic and the USB box seems worse than the internal card. I went with the Silicon HDhomerun 6 tuner. works great, every computer in the house can records it's own channels in it's harddrive, most computers can record one or 2 streams with no hesitation. you do need a gigabit switch and gigabit cards in your computers. working great here.
all recordings default to C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV
to playback just go there and double click the recording you want.
I love the HD quickTV app to watch tv, all the channels are showing on the right side vertically and disapper when you select a channel, for all heavy things like recording shows or series you use Windows Media Center.
as soon as I get some spending cash will put together a new computer with a few cores like the new Bulldozer chips so I can set ONE box to record up to 6 channels at once and be able to do it smoothly. all my current machines are OLD dells with P4's and they work ok with 2 channels at once, have not tried more than that, no time lately to play with it |
