I've got a 40" LCD hooked up to a BD player, Xbox 360 and set-up to run as a 2nd monitor for my pc.
All I need now is a FreeviewHD DVR :-)

I have a 37" Panasonic LCD HDTV @ 1080p, with built-in Freeview HD tuner. Cool thing is because I live in Khandallah directly opposite Mt Kaukau I don't even need an antenna plugged into the TV to get a perfect signal :)

Also have a WDTV HD, and Xbox 360 Elite Slim.

A DVR would slot in perfectly!

My "home theater" (if you can call it that) consists of a rather cheap 23.6" 1080p Philips LCD monitor (with HDMI), a desktop (for streaming / playing media), a PS2 and Gamecube, and a Sony 6.2 HT system. - So no actual TV at all currently.

I would like this unit as the Samsung LCD TV I brought back from the UK has built in Freeview...which of course doesnt work here.

Other issues I have are that my PS3 is likewise the wrong zone for playback and that my home theater amp doesn't accept HDMI (only RCA 5.1)

So, in short I'd like this so that I can start to rebuild something worthwhile now that I'm back in NZ.

We have two dvd players (one multi-zoned, one zoned home theatre system), and one TV. We used to use terrestrial TV but now live without TV reception. Not that I personally care too much, but the lady of the house misses shorty on weeknights, and I miss the International Games. Internet (Ondemand) is fine, and I hook up my laptop via SVGA to the TV to watch repeats and catchups.

TV, DVR, Sky Digital, DVD Player.

All pretty old school really, so looking for a lesson in how to upgrade to Freeview.

Will it play with Sky okay??

Alan.

40inch Sony X series LCD
Yamaha RX-V863 AV Receiver with various arrangements of speakers
PS3 with PlayTV for Blu-ray/GT5 (soon, oh so soon...)/TV/PVR

I'm actually pretty satisfied with this setup and wouldn't need the Homecast PVR for myself.
However it would be perfect for my granddad - to bring him into the digital age. ;)

I have a buggy DVB-S2600U (see my other posts at various times) with, apparently, a different set of bugs to anyone else's DVB-S2600U, hooked up to an old Sky dish that someone left behind. This may be a special (bug-)collector's edition of the DVB-S2600U, making it especially valuable.

A 29" Phillips 4:3 CRT tv with an Extra Terrestrial Freeview box. Needless to say, I'm less than impressed with the ET's PVR capabilities, so the Homecast box would be a very welcome change!

46" Bravia X series + TCL cable with T-Box in lounge. Basic analogue reception in elsewhere. HT9200DTR would have to be an improvement on the T-Box (freezing issues, etc) & would provide digital HD elsewhere in house. Plus an extra 500GB would be ideal for the other half's series recordings (Coro et al!) & free up T-Box for non-free to air stuff.
