probuild521 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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) .http://www.slingmedia.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
