Maybe it actually is about time for me to build a new VDR. I'll probably take a look at the Reel Extension HD PCI. But that means I'll also need a new motherboard with at least five PCI slots (for 3 DVB-S cards, 1 DVB-T and the Extension HD). On my desktop PC I'm using a passively cooled Pentium M with 1.86GHz, which works really good, so maybe that's also a viable choice for a new VDR. I guess it goes without saying that modern motherboards have a gigabit Ethernet port and graphics on board. Does anybody have a recommendation for such a board?
Can't you just buy a 2nd hand Pentium 4 board and another P4 mobile? Save the environment and your wallet! No gigabit ethernet, but stick a Matrox in the AGP slot and get component PAL output.. matrox G450 costs 10 euros...
