I have currently a DB7020 and have recently put together a HTPC due to the fact I wanted to be able to get HD, plus the 4:2:2 feeds and also with the addition of the media playback capabilites like using Media Portal.
But, can't seem to get on with the HTPC, it seems it is taking a lot of fiddling to get correct screen res setup, then I am not happy with Media Portal repsonse times on the Satellite side of things, seems really slow.
I know the AZBox can get the feeds ok, but not sure about the DB800HD or any other? Although this is not the most important thing and it wouldn't be the end of the workd if I didn't have it, it would still be nice to have.
What I do need is the ability to playback MKV files, like a media center capability. And also what is good about Media Portal is the slick front end for all the Movie and TV collections, where you get the artwork and movie details and info. Does anyone know if this exists on any Satellite Media System or could possible in the future?
On the basis of the above, which do you think would be my best choice?
Cheers
