    Whats are some good alternatives for us non-media center PC's?
    I love the fact that my home theater system will be easily playing avi's and digital audio with a quick button other than a few burns of a cd or blasting through comp speakers.

    I saw DLINK's DSM 320 media lounge and really thought it was a great fix it has all but lacks recording TV.

    What other ones like this are out there or anyone have any reviews????

    Plus the DSM plays xVid Mpeg 4 etc. So that saves a good 6 hours coverting those bad boys to DVDR!

    Let me know! Thankx!

    A good capture card, and some good PVR software.
    I use dual Hauppauge PVR-250's and GB-PVR.
