Just a quick report.
I went from a P3-800 to a P4 3.05 running Raid 5 last night. (3x300GB)
I put 4 tuners in the new box. But only have the 2 sat receivers at the moment.
I put in the 2 PVR 250s that I already had and a NVIDIA DualTV card that I got new.
I have not yet tried to use the Nvidia card however. But it did install without any issues.
Using the built in backup and restore sure makes this a lot easier then last time I redid the system. I did have to rerun the setup anyway. It came up and said there was 0 GB free on the drive but pressing explore and reselecting the common folder fixed that. I also had to retell it what video source was connected to what IR set.
All my Jobs were there.
The Job priority was correct
The history was all intact.
And all other settings seem to be in place such as my VBR settings and so forth.
It went very smooth. I’m very happy. I
BTV.
There will be more to report after I get the next two sat receivers hooked up and running and move the box away from the TV and into another room.
May or may not be awhile. This part took awhile since I did a whole new system and this machine is the recycled hardware that I replaced.
I foresee some sort of NAS box happening in the future as well. I wonder if I could do something with the P3-800 I just replaced.
OK. Not so quick a report.
