I am building a new home and having all of my TV's networked together, I have looked in the Digitalife System. This stores all of my video data on a 1.2 terabyte hard drive, that will be accessable from any TV in the house. What I am really looking for is a whole home DVR that I can record and play back from any TV in the house, and store the shows or movies in one location. Have on screen programming etc. Thanks Paule

One option would be an MCE machine with massive amounts of storage and MCE Extender devices for the other TV's in the house... "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion! Hats off & applause to rogues & evolution! The ripple effect is too good not to mention. If you’re not affected, you’re not paying attention!"

I have Broadband TV (tv over the phone line) and it operates from ONE cable box.... but you can tume 3 different channels on 3 different tv's at the same time. You can also set it up to record/playback from any tv. It operates in terms of "tv bands".... there is a channel 4 band, a channel 8 band, and a channel 11 band. The remotes are UHF and not infrared, so thay can control the cable box from anywhere in the house. You have a channel 4 remote, 8 remote, and 11 remote. If you want to watch tv on the channel 11 band... you use the 11 remote and turn your tv to channel 11. The remote controls tha cable box as to waht station you want to watch. The channel 4 band is the master band that allows record/playback to and from any device of your choosing... ie: vcr, pvr... etc. The only problem is that the remote does not control the record/playback device itself, so you would need one of those room-to-room remote carrier systems that allows you to use any infrared remote in a different room, for your playback device... Either that or find a playback device that uses UHF frequency instaed of infrared.

Hi, We have designed built such a system. See www.neodigital.net.nz. Version 2 is currently being developed to make provision for FTA satellite TV as well as the currently available analog streams. NEO provides similar functionality to Kaleidescape but with the addition of comprehensive DVR features and PBX (VoIP)service and web access.
