Hey folks, I'm new here & I thought I would post at a place where the folks seem to really know their stuff. I guess the best way to do this is just tell you what I want the system to do & you folks tell me what I need to do it. I'm selling my PS3 since I have not touched it in 3-4 months & I want to finally move over to a HTPC. Thank you for your time & help!!
Current Entertainment System:
42" Sharp LCD
Tvio Series 3 (We LOVE our Tivo & have no plans of replacing it with this new HTPC)
Yamaha 5.1 Audio system with receiver
PS3 (Selling)
What I'm looking for in a HTPC/NAS
Budget: 800.00 (Max)
System must be able to stream Hulu/Netflix/Voodoo/Amazon/Etc. (Much like Roku)
Must have a Blu-Ray player
Must have full Blu-Ray playback capabilities
I want the ability to take all my DVDs and "rip" them to ISO and have them saved on a NAS (type) system & have a nice menu to scroll through my movies & play them (Might be asking for much on this one?)
Ability for expansion to add a cable card this would allow me to record shows (I think?)
Well I think that's everything I need for the most part
