I know this is not reception, but it is an HD PVR so it is related to the forum (and I think the one that it fit best)
[Link: tvix.co.kr]the specs look interesting, but like everything else the proof is in the pudding.
I am curious because at
newegg it is 209.99$ (but you need to add a HDD)
P.S. what also bothers me is that in several places and some of the specs make it sound like the Duo but the images and some of the other specs make it sound like the slim HD S1 that is not a PVR (plus I think the price looks too good to be true).
To add to the confusion, Newegg.ca failed to include a model number unlike here:
[Link: digitalconnection.com]You need to pay attention to such as the DVB version is for Europe and what we need is the ATSC/QAM model and of course if you want to use it with cable or satellite those boxes need to be net-workable via RJ45 and software.
Divco has good stuff I was considering buying a Fusion 7 tuner but the TiVX models may be less costly than building a specialised PC as currently motherboard manufacturers like Gigabyte, EVGA and ASUS seem to be catering to the gamer crowd mostly and unless you go to the industrial market like iBase or Transduction it is getting harder to support legacy cards beyond the PCIE craze. I'm considering the M6620NP myself rather than building another Home Theatre PC. If that is the same machine....its a good price, just poorly presented. Ask Newegg if that is the 6620 and report back. I'd be curious as I would like to get a 6620 or its successor someday, even though I'm not networked here at home.
However yes, the series themselves come stock without a HDD but that lets the user decide how much space they need. Don't forget though a broadcast .ts or .tp file is just a direct copying of the transmitted signal and they can be huge, from 5Gigs to 9Gigs for a one hour show. Yet unlike a boot or gaming drive you don't need 7200-10000rpm spindle speeds, 5400 is good enough and the WD 'green' drives run at 5900.
