Just wanted to say thanks for the advice given in my previuos thread which was unfortunately closed before I could reply.
Yo MONkey good to see you still streaming all kinds a shit over networks (reminds me of Mike TV in Charlie and the Choclate Factory)
Cheers fergy and mgb. I now know that I definetly want to play with a Dreambox and will be ordering one soon. I just need some advice on wheather I should buy the PVR model or the 500c. My setup is
Sharp 37" LCD 960x540
HTPC connected via DVI-HDMI
Zalman 160HTX
Core2Duo E6300 o'c till it bleeds
Geforce 7900GTX
crappy Freecom USB DVB-T Freeview dongle which gives an excellent picture but really bad lip sync
Dbox2 connected via top notch Lindy Scart cable
I want to be able to record tv and possibly have some type of PVR functionality but its no big deal if I dont. Would I be better of buying a 500c or shall I buy a more expensive Dreambox with hard drive? If I buy the 500c could I record straight to a hard drive on my PC or would I need a capture card or something. I do have a Osprey 530 capture card at hand should I need to do any testing.
Or I could just buy a DVD Recorder and connect it to my Dreambox. Would I have any problems with macrovision (sorry for the noob question lol)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
