[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 166019, member: 175089"] I know the thread is a bit old: just grabbed it, so to speak. Reading the specs for this device its still seems a long way off being a 'true' server. At that price point, though, I am sure its fun. If only the old world met the new one. You bought a DVD, popped it in a loader, accessed it by your mediaServer, and had fun. As you watched it it downloaded to your server, so that that others in the house could start watching it moments after you had started. The juxposition being that could you employ an small army of low-paid miracle-workers to digitise the gazzilion music tracks, dvd's and videos you have onto your server. Mind, those terrabytes of server space you'll still need is a bit pricey, too. Today: unless you have hacked your DVD's (!), its one per PC DVD drive and by the time you have finished faffing with that - you might as well just throw it in the DVD player under the MediaServer! I suppose it is good for family parties, listening to online radio stations, etc. Do they do satellite sensors for the, say, the toilet or kitchen (to access the MediaServer)? Have Fun, Mark.
