New to the forum (boy am I glad I found it!!), as I'm trying to spec out a HTPC. My aim is to have a box that receives FreeviewHD, and acts as both a PVR, and also a media player front end for all the movies etc I have stored on a server on my LAN.
From what I've read here and elsewhere, the video component of a HTPC box is crucial for handlng HD; my original plan was to get a video card (such as this: http://www.pcworks.co.nz/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210&products_id=1907)
But today I came across the above MoBo, and was wondering if you guys thought it would cut the mustard - there's a review here: http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/taxid;1776357743;pid;4601;pt;1?image=16360 which indicates it handles playing Blu-ray ok, but does this demand as much as decoding FreeviewHD?
Thanks in advance!!
