Primary purpose is HDDVR replacement for a single TV, ideally able to record at least two shows at once. Their current DVR is some box from Charter with a 250GB HDD @ $15/mo.
Will not be used for watching/ripping DVD or Blu-rays, they have a stand alone player.
Hardware I have sitting around:
4GB(2x2GB) DDR3-1333
64GB OCZ Agility 4 (OS drive?, will purchase larger drive for storage)
OS to be used:
Windows 7 Home Premium
I guess my primary question is what core hardware should I be looking at?(no HTPC experience)
CPU, mobo, capture card?
I was thinking a G860, H61 mobo, and a Ceton InfiniTV 4.
Is this overkill? Alternatives?
