So I have just moved into a new place without a phone line and my TiVo is now inoperable. I am looking to take my PC and make it into a PVR. Specs are as follow: e6600 Asus P5b Deluxe 2 gigs of Ram x1900xtx Audigy 2 I have done absolutely no research on the topic and need to know what hardware and software I will need to seemlessly integrate my PC into my TV viewing. Also, I have a couple of questions about this... 1) Will I be able to do anything with my computer when it is recording a program? 2) How easy/user friendly and reliable will "season passes" be for individual programs? Thanks for any and all help
my favorite piece of software to do this with is BeyondTV here: http://www.snapstream.com/ it is not free, but I think it works the best. Also, if you like it, all info on computer specs/hardware are there too.
I personally use the snapstream system and it works great. I just have a wireless nic in the machine to transfer stuff over and to control the box when I am away I can use logmein.com for finding out what I want to record etc. Works great!
