Hi Everyone,
The holidays finally gave me time to do some internet research and I came across this and other PVR sites. This technology is so cool and I'm game! I even told my brother-in-law about it yesterday and he's going to check it out too since he was thinking about getting Tivo for my sister.
We have a computer with cable modem in one room and the house is prewired for network connection in that room, the living room, and bedroom. So is it a simple matter of just buying a pvr card, MediaMVP, hooking everything up, downloading GBPVR, and being good to go? Does this sound right?
I'm debating on the Hauppauge PVR 150 or 500 and am not sure which one to get. We don't watch too much TV and the 150 is cheaper. Any thoughts?
I've also read some posts where people have said they have multiple pvr cards in their computers. What is the advantage of having say a 500 and a 150 or two 500s in one computer?
Thank you.
