Hi, am a newbie and would like to setup a dedicated PVR service for the entire house. I was wondering if this is possible:
1 PVR server (GBPVR) with Multi Tuners (possibly 2 PVR500s) and 4 MediaMVPs for each room.
Anyway, is it possible each room with MediaMVP can watch different LiveTV programs since server would have 4 tuners via the 2 PVR500s. Will GBPVR be able to do this. The ultimate goal is I want each room to be serviced by the PVR whether live, stored films, stored mp3s, so that the kids will not bother me when they need to look for a particular film and still be able to watch and record their programs. The PVR machine will be placed somewhere else in the house. Something similar to the VOOM demo, I forget the VOOM website. BTW, I really have no need for any fancy items like HD or anything like that.
If this is a redundant and obsolete question, my apologies, but i couldn't find the proper thread that will explain this more clearly.
Also, will the MediaMVP work with a WIFI network? Just a thought for others who would have more experience with the hardware.
To probably help, this is what I have now:
PC is P4-2.8Ghz with 1GB RAM and 2 150 S-ATA Drives (RAID) = 300 GB HD Space. Have gigabit wired switch and Wireless-G LAN also connected. No tuners and MEdiaMVP yet, but am willing to invest if it is possible.
