OK, I am so lost and I know this forum is filled with geniuses! So maybe you can help. I will list what I have, what I want to get, and what I want to do. Maybe somebody can help me design something and give me some instructions. What I have 46" LCD HDTV Sony surround sound system A current PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) Xbox 360 Nintendo WII A DirecTV HD-DVR (though I am dumping DirecTV, I get to keep the box) Full house WIFI Netflix DVD Player What I am going to get One of the following: - Roku - Logitech Revue - Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player What I want to do I no longer want to be tied to satellite or cable. I want to use my Netflix and GoogleTV and my DVD player. That should cover the whole of my TV watching. I want to be able to record Netflix and GoogleTV. I have several DirecTV boxes that I am willing to mod if I need to. If anyone could give me some clear, concise instructions, I would be very grateful. I am currently stuck at home while awaiting a liver transplant, so I have plenty of time to set this up. I just can not work out how it should all go together. Thank you very much!
Netflix is on demand so I wouldn't bother to try to record any of that. GoogleTv without a cable or satellite doesn't require any recording as that content will be on demand as well. A lot of shows can be found on the internet in a flash format that can be captured and saved to your computer. If you want to keep a lot of media there is always downloading. There are both legitimate methods (Itunes) and not so legitimate ones (peer to peer filesharing).
