Windows Home Server And Directv


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a good way to create a Directv PVR. I was looking for some sort of box(not a computer) that could connect to my tv and stream the data recorded back to the windows home server (not located in the same room as tv). I looked into sage.tv and it appears that it requires the home server to be right next to the sage.tv box. I also looked into Linksys's DMA 2100 but it appears there is no way for it to record back to the home server.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

If you have a direct TV PVR , then a slingbox can control it , and stream the output over ethernet (including to a ethernet over power line or wireless access point) to your router and from there to the sling player on your computer anywhere on the internet. You use the sling player software to control the slingbox and it has IR controls you stick on or hang in front of the PVR or DirectTV tuner (it can actually control several devices) .
