Sorry for entering this so late, but Daniel can you give me an idea of what sized machines you're talking about? To be able to record 2 channels at once and view a recording? I have bought 2 Topfield PVR devices, the first was brilliant till the main board died and we were told it was cheaper to replace the whole unit than fix it, and the unit we bought to replace it is starting to play up... so now I've decided that a MythBuntu box would be the best solution... I want an idea of what I'll be in for... -- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono The more you know the less you need to say. - Jim Rohn http://outcampaign.org/ -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
