Yes, 8400GS should be OK, but is preaty old in these days...
If you want nVidia, look for some 2xx model

Exactly my point... that's why they're so cheap! (and support HW accel)

Thanks for all your inoputs and support, I did not get GB-PVR working with SAF so I have decided for now to go for a MPEG4 receiver with external USB disk, it seems to work fine so far.

The setup is a Denver DMB-105HD, it is nothing fancy but it can record on a USB stick which works fine and should also be able to record to a USB disk which I will check when I get one.

Total cost including 500G disk will be around 100Euro or 150$ and then the family can also use it easily.

@12345pj
Did you unlock your SAF?

[12345pj]

Not yet, I will do that as soon as I have some spare time.

I still want to make it work but it appears to me to be a task that takes many hours to understand and setup correctly.

Thanks for your great support.
