Hi Trevor,
I do have WMC on my laptop and must admit I'm not that impressed with it. Having said that I don't use it much, more a backup when the I'm in my games/study room. Also on my desktop at work, but it doesn't like my current 4 tuner DNTV card I have in that. I did look at building a dedicated box a few yrs ago but decided against that idea.
What turner cards do you use in yours?.
Phil, The Panasonic does look like a nice unit but I dont need/use a dvd player/burner. Havn't burnt a disk for years. May get used if I had one but not enough to warrant the extra cost.
Bruce. The toppy 7160 was the 1st choice and almost purchased one, but thought I would see if there was anything out there that might be as good and use the equivalent to "taps". Thats when I came across the T3. The 3 tuners is very appealing. Reading some forums you can actually record 13/14 different things at the same time I believe. Not that I could imagine anyone wanting to record that much crap. But does sound good thou.
I dont use any taps at present as I thought the HD versions didn't allow the use of them. Was very surprised to see that they are still available. On the 5000MP I did and was one of the main reasons going the toppy route in the first place. PBK and TEDS were my favorites and believe they don't work with the current crop. I really miss TEDS, made finding/setting timers so much easier once all setup.
What are your favorite Taps?
Yes putting your own HD in was the option I am looking at.
One thing I don't like about the T3 is the use of SCART connectors and the price of scart to HDMI converters.
Thanks guys for the input
Cheers
