I currently use GBPVR to record TV shows from my PVR500, and a D-link DSM-520 to watch the shows on our TV (wired ethernet connection). This generally works fine, except fast forward and rewind don't work at all, and there's no way to delete a show after I've watched it other than go to the PC in the other room.
So, I'm thinking of switching to a Media MVP, but I have a few questions:
1. How is the video quality of the MediaMVP? Just standard TV, not HD or widescreen.
2. Do the audio and video remain in sync, even with long movies?
3. Do pause, fast forward, and rewind actually work? Any weird problems?
4. Can I delete shows I've watched from the MediaMVP?
5. The DSM-520 requires navigating through multiple screens to watch the shows I want ("My Media", "Video", "My Video", "Folders", "Video", and finally the list of videos). The "Video" button on the remote only skips the first screen, not very helpful. Does the MediaMVP allow easier access to the show list?
I have no interest in viewing pictures, music, live TV, or DVD files. I just want to watch MPEG2 shows I've recorded on my PC.
What advantages/disadvantages does GBPVR provide compared to the Hauppauge server?
Thanks!
Anthony
