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.
Thanks in advance.

PS. Nice job on the software, am playing with it although in my PC only.
