I bought a shuttle and t.b.h. I wasn't impressed. It looks nice, but having slaved over it I realised that there was a much better path I could have taken.. This would have been to setup an machine in a room, or under the stairs or something, with all the TV feeds and network terminating in there. I would then use a nice fast machine (probably Gentoo on AMD64) as the encoder and slap a RAID array with a number of SATA drives in there. Seeing as space would not be a constraint, I could add a number of cards on a nice full size, FAST, asus deluxe motherboard.. there would also be some PVRs in there (one with SVHS for Sky and a DVB-T one for terrestrial) In the living/family/bed room I'd have a VIA (epia) based board with mpeg hardware decompression, possibly booting the device from a microdrive or compact flash, I'd also choose a nice looking, slimline and QUIET case. I'd run this as the frontend either over plain cat 5e or over 802.11g. This will be my next project.. -- Joel Merrick email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mobile: 07929 208 567 ServiceStyle Ltd. - Manchester's Technology Experts https://www.servicestyle.com GPG Public Key - https://www.servicestyle.com/joel_servicestyle.asc
