[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 650040, member: 325666"] Hi .. I cannot really comment on your specific requirements ...but for me the answer to all my modest distribution requirements is a decent wired network hub system For example ...I don't like the idea of having Discs Tapes or any physical representation of my media collection .. I buy a CD or DVD ...and my first job is to rip it and store it on my homebuilt 4 terrabyte server/media tank .. which has provision to upgrade to 8 terrabyte without physical modification.. Having got all my media centrally stored...its then a simply a question of what device to stream to .. In my case I have 6 computers on the system ...one of which is a high end HTPC ..with blu-ray capability.. I also have 3 modified X box (origionals) sporting XBMC ...(I even have one in the roof space in my bathroom)... These wont do Hi def of course ..but will play any stored audio ...and the majority of stored video media... I fully intend to retire these in favour of the new Asus media player .. _http://www.trustedreviews.com/multimedia/review/2009/08/07/Asus-O-Play-HDP-R1-HD-Media-Player/p1 which will eventually accommodate blu-ray iso images .. ..so these discs can also be ripped and stored in a more convenient form .. As to sat reception ...you also have options by going down the network route .. firstly most HD linux based boxes have the option to be controlled remotely via a web server ...emulating the remote control functions of the satellite box .. also the video and audio can be streamed to a remote device ...or simply stored in the media'tank' for common access ... This for me is the way forward ...and when I rewired my modest little terrraced house ...I hard wired with CAT cable to accommodate and future proof.. All done by me ...and not so easy when you get in your 50's ...but I didn't want to have to re-do later.. It'll probably see me out ;) If you love your Tech ..Network is the 'Only' real solution ..imo rgds VS ps ..forgot to add ... Slingbox or other variants can also accomodate remote viewing and channel selection.. ..and guess what ... ..also by network.. ;) [/QUOTE]
