Hi guys,
I currently have a linksys e4200 router and have 3TB hd connect. This streams videos, and Internet streams through orb UPnP to my sumvision players at each tv. This has worked great for over a year but now my HD is nearly full and i want a change.
Basically i watch alot of freeview tv/catchup tv, football and other live events on the web.*
Thats were afew people have recommended me to try mythtv, as i have the ability to watch feeds from the Internet of websites. After some research i found this would be costly to do as i want to have 3 tv sets on the system and would need 3frontend devices. Thats were i found XBMC which led me to here i believe its compatible with mythTV so iv decided to run a backend on mythtv and have the frontend on XBMC.*
First, i like to use lovefilm but i know mythtv & XBMC dose not support this. So could i use a Sony network media player (which has lovefilm on it) connected to each tv set and use them as the frontend with the XBMC on them?*
And lastly is the frontend a HTPC? I will build the backend myself but would like to buy the frontend and take into account i need 3 so price is a issue. What devices are out there?
Thanks
Gray
