I don't need this for myself but was thinking about getting my parents a Freeview box for Xmas as they only have an old TV and a cheap DVD player and not great TV reception at the moment.
This would be awesome for them as it includes a recorder so my Mum won't an episode of Coro Street again.
Javahn: MEAN! This device would make my basic set-up, intermediate
My current setup:
42 inch LCD TV PS3 FreeView HD Wii DVD/USB player
All the above connected to a 5.1 home theatre via HDMI cables
Wii connected to WLAN PS3 has connection to LAN
3 laptops and 1 desktop on the WLAN/LAN, streaming video etc to PS3 via TVersity. PS3 will only play DVD, BR and rips of movies so use DVD/USB player to play cam, TS etc
Add me if ya play MW2 on PS3 I'm on it hard-out lol profile name: "Tuitama"
Did have a TV DVR setup on a 2nd PC but not any more :( was looking into getting My FreeView but decided to wait for Google TV to hit NZ
Also looking to buy a 3D TV for Christmas hit me up if ya know a good deal going :)
Oh well thats me, hope I win LATERS :)
TANGO SUKKA
My bad the Wii is connect to the home theatre via good old RCA lol
My current setup includes a Panasonic DMR-BW850, a MagicTV and a 42" Plasma. Now that I have gone full HD, the 42" plasma could certainly be upgraded to a bigger size. If I won the Homecast, it would make a great Christmas present for my parents.
As much as I don't really agree with receiving direct emails that appear to be an advertising gimick, I do need a freeview decoder after the box of rubbish from 1-Day day didn't work and has now been sent back!
Samsung 42" plasma with MySky HDI -could always use a second box though. As for the shaneless plug I just received my Kindle 3 in the mail - works a treat now just need to find a case for it.... so many to choose from.
I have a 32 Samsung LED TV and a Mitsubishi HD4000 720p projector. This runs through a Pioneer 6.1 Receiver and Tannoy Sub/Satellite speakers. I currently have MySky, a PS3 running PlayTV imported from the UK, which is a bit annoying as the program guide doesn't work well, so a nice freeview HD recorder would be great.
We have: A Samsung 42" LCD Pioneer Receiver Wharfedale 5.1 Surround Speakers PC with Analogue & DVB-S tuners running MediaPortal (soon to be upgraded to DVB-T & Blu-Ray Player)
However, we're entering this comp because my wife's parents need a FreeView HD recorder :)
Looks good: it says it has dual tuners but can I put two inputs to it ? I have a satellite dish pointed at Optus D2 connected to my HTPC but I wouldnt mind if this device could sit before the Home Theatre and allow us to record more channels ( I only have a single TV tuner card in the HTPC)
