somebody posts that output to the screen might not be possible, or am
i misunderstanding something ?

i use an old notebook as answering machine and firewall - works fine
even for my non-techie wife (she´s a very good teacher, btw) via some
sort of UI.
would be a nice thing to show the userinterface and date/time of the
recording on the tv via the dvb card, hear the recordings there and
so on. both machines had to run through the day, so it would be nice
to save some energy and integrate.

its clear to me that this is not the "focus" here, but some sort of
"tv-dialog" and a possibility to play soundfiles via the dvb would be
enough. that would allow me to keep peace in the house and remove one
of the boxes and a (than) useless screen too.

yeah, that would be fine.

*g*, sounds perfect to me.

let me say that i would be very happy to get all this done on the tv-
screen, controlled via remote (wishfull thinking).
