Supreme Cmdr Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 Man, with all the good shows hitting this fall, I'm gonna need to upgrade the HDD on my Tivo series2 box very soon. In fact, a few months back, I bought an LG LRM-519 for the living room. Connecting it to my 802.11g WiFi network and using Windows Media Connect, I can view pictures from my computers, play music, transfer shows back/forth etc. If you do get one, be sure to check their list of supported WiFi adapters before you buy one. I was foolish enough to think that the DLink brand I use would just work. Nope. You have to buy a specific model from specific manufacturers. And MS made the Microsoft Program Guide free, so you no longer have to pay for it.
Eclipse Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 hmm If I'd seen this I might have gone this route. I ended up just using hte parts of my old computer and running mediaportal on top to function as the media center and tv recording. if you are interested the link is http://www.team-mediaportal.com
LostInSpace Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 I love DIY. Nothing gives one more satisfaction than creating something with one's own two hands and at least for now I don't need to worry about the WAF (wife acceptance factor) so mine can look just like the millennium falcon for all I care. Waf. That made me chuckle.
