[QUOTE="NWW, post: 751932, member: 372502"] DVBlink integrates into Windows Media Center, which in the end allows you to view your own content (movies, music, pictures) along with other add-ins. All you need is to buy ONE Network Pack and ONE TV Source from DVBlogic, and install those in your primary HTPC (which houses the tuners). So, to recap, (I'm giving you an idea of component, feel free to choose your own.) HTPC/Server: Core i5-2500k H67 mobo (=> integrated graphics) in ATX format, to have room for multiple tuners 4Gb ram (maybe more, if you use it for other things) HDD: as many as you need SSD: if you have the money and want extra snappiness (when waking up the computer from sleep, etc) Tuners: The Blackgold BGT3595 was perfect, (2xDVB-S2 , 2XDVB-T) but is now discontinued. Find the Nova HD S2, it seems to be the best, but it is single tuner. Tevii has dual tuners. Now for the HTPC/clients, Core i3-2XXX (choose whichever you want) H67 mobo. You can go as low as m-ITX, if you want it to be small, but beware, 1 extension slot only. 4gb ram, plenty enough. One SSD or small HDD for the OS. Storage will be on the server. Use Media Center on each htpc, install the DVBlink CLIENT on every other HTPC, and you're good to go. Read the manual from DVBlogic. You can have a 3 weeks trial to see if it works for you. [/QUOTE]
