Ive been lurking a while, trying to make the best decisions :

- I want to do the remote thing with mediaMVP, with a DVBS capture card (with CI slot) and all the pvr fun of gbpvr.
- I also want to be able to playback avi in divx, wma and mp3.
- I'd really like hdmi output from the MVP - it cant but others can, but dont do the remote thing quite so well - ( dvico http://www.tvix.co.kr/ENG/Products/HDM5000U.aspx ? zenMicro 4/500 http://www.zensonic.com/z500.php ? )
- I'd really like a HDTV capture card now, so I dont pay now and pay later as well ...
- I'd like to be able to do the remoting from multiple locations
- I _need_ to be able to do the remote control with a zapper from the comfort of the sofa

Can I do it and not be disappointed (channel change lag etc) ?
If I can do it, how do i do it ?
Is gppvr the only way - what has the competition got the gbpvr doesnt it ?
Do I have to pay big bucks for this kind of thing, right here, right now - if so, why ?

To be honest, those devices you mention will give you quite a different experience than the Hauppauge MVP.

With the Hauppauge device you'll get all the GB-PVR menu's etc on your TV and can control everything with the remote.

With those other devices, you'll just have to use their original software, which probably just gives you the ability play audio/video files from a share. With this setup, you wont be able to do scheduling, browse the tv, watch live tv etc. I suspect you'll be disappointed.

thanks Sub.
So if forego the other machines other experiences, and I go with a Hauppage type solution with the mediaMVP, a DVBS capture card and gbpvr, can I do the other things well ?
- change channel, timeshift etc ?
- play divx, avi, wma, mp3 ?
- use an IR remote from the depths of my sofa ?

Yes

Yes...usually. Most of these specific file types you're requesting can be problematic. The MVP can only natively play MPEG-1/MPEG-2 and MP3 files. Anything else has to be converted on the fly to a format that the MVP can handle. In the case of divx and avi files, this requires you to have a large amount of CPU available in your server (at least 2.4GHz processor), but even then some users have problems (usually versions of decoders and codecs on their machine). Playing MPEG-1/MPEG-2 and MP3 files is much better with the MVP.
