G'day,
I was thinking about buying a DVD recorder with a HDD, but it seems that a HTPC may be the better option. My needs are receiving standard definition digital TV, a PVR, a music server for .mp3 and .wav files, and a remote to control all operations.
However, I know next to nowt about HTPC. I'm aware of front-ends such as mythTV, and TV tuner cards for receiving SD and HD transmissions, but not enough about connecting it all together, and whether such a system will yield comparable sound/video quality to my current Rotel system (not much point making a music server if it sounds crappy).
Can anyone point to some useful links, or offer advice?
