Could someone let me know if I have a proper understanding of this device and it ability with gbpvr before I purchase one.
1. this device will work out of the box with GBPVR?
2. I can hook this up to a tv anywhere in the house and as long as i run a network connection to it, i'm good to go (will it work wireless?)?
3. Is the on-screen menu the same menu as gbpvr, or does gbpvr just feed the media to it, and mediamvp has it's on menu and way of working?
4. Do functions like comskip work with it, for example-- I have gbpvr set with comskip so that when I watch the shows on my gbpvr box, the commericals are skipped automatically...does this work through the mediamvp?
5. Will it allow me to control the gbpvr's other functions...such as settings up new recordings? watch live tv? view the tv guide?
6. Is there a limit to how many can connect to gbpvr, and are their limitations if more than one is connected? (obviously it can only transmit one live tv channel at a time, but what about recordings?)
Thanks to whoever can handle these, I just didn't want to go out and spend 80 bucks before I knew if it would handle the functions I absolutely want it for. And if anyone wants to chime in on the best price they have found and where, that would be great also.
