Hi, please, please, please can someone help me and suggest a solution to my problem, as i'm starting to lose my mind!!! [:'(]
All i would like to do, is watch and record freeview or freesat tv, plus watch my DVD collection which is stored on my external hard drive as TS files!
Ideally it would be one unit, but i don't think there is anything out there that can do both - please prove me wrong
I have though about, Western digital and PVR setup, apple tv and pvr setup, and i'm don't know what is best, so any suggestions or options would be greatly received and would stop a simple man loosing his already small brain!!
[:D]
 
am happy to do that nintenjo, if that would be easier / cheaper?
The only probelms is, i'm a bit of a newbie, so will this be out of my league :eek:

If not, what would you recomend i start with? :confused:
 
Well it depends on budget, but id say about £250 would get you a pretty neat little HTPC that would do all you require and more.

Although the PS3 suggestion might actually be a little simpler especially if you fancy playing some games as well. (But it wont play Freesat or HD DVB broadcasts .. which a HTPC could)

:D
 
Looks great.. If only it had a DVD / BluRay drive i would replace my HTPC :) ... oh and some access to online media like i-player.

PS3 seconded, would also do both of those things too.

I use 2x1TB hard drives full of .m2ts 4GB movies. I can also watch iplayer. Dont have PS3 TV but as nintenjo says, its possible also.
 
Thanks all for the suggestions - it was getting so cionfusing
I will have a look at the option and let you know
Does anyone have any comments on the Apple TV media player - i've heard some good reports, but you guys probably know more about it?
