All very true. I don't have any movies set up in my video system at all, either.
I use mine as a DVR on steroids. I have two weeks of programming info at any given time, powerful search functions, etc. I can stream any recorded programs to three different TV's in the house, the kids can easily watch any of their recorded programs in their room - I can control what channels they have access to, etc - all over the IP network and a set top box. I've also had the ability for years to schedule my recordings over the internet, even live stream my tuner or recorded programs over the net, although, really - unless you're a total junkie, there's little reason for it. It's perfect for my needs. I don't see a huge need for indexing, dvd storage (and the numerous problems the encryption causes), etc. But as a networked DVR, it's awesome. Random play of recorded video is cool for the kids - they love selecting random shows to play at night as they go to bed. As for DVD's - if I play a DVD, I have full access to the menu structure via MCE remote control. You still do if you have the DVD stored in DVD format on the HDD also --- a feature I've helped friends with, but don't use myself. FWIW, I don't use my video solution at all in the same manner as I do my audio system. -- 86atc250r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62455 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
