I think I want one!

It would have to be no more than £250 though!

With Bill taking his cut it will be nearer £400 I would think

Good find though lisa

Hmmm, still trying to work out what it is.....

A DVD Recorder with some of the MCE functionality and interface.
Did you spot if it's also a MCE Media Extender? OPr could be used as a Media Extender?)

....and the key thing if you live in the UK - Does it have a Digital Tuner (Freeview)....

I'm still not fully convinced on a full blown PC running Windows (MCE) in the living room (I'd like to add, my PC's built but currently undergoing extensive testing - all looking v good so far). This maybe the answer for people slightly less convinced than me!

I must admit, it wasn't my find, someone else on the PVR forum posted the link.

As far as I can work out, it will have integrated tuner(s) and the EPG facility by SUBSCRIPTION and a DVD RW, and 160gb HDD / USB ports and is network capable, so can be integrated to an existing MCE PC - I imagine as an extender or as the main device.

Maybe it would be feasible to use on of those to take care of all live and recorded tv, as long as it is accessible across the home network by other devices (MCE PC / xbox extender / 360)?
