There are several, I'd have to look and it's connected to my FPTV in the bedroom (I'm splitting time between my 3D room & livingroom watching football

Hehe.
Everything Ive read so far seems to be high on PQ and no different from a standalone. Box almost seems to good to be true

I watch something from mine every night, last night a demo disc and some music thanks to the Hauppauge ...
I registered over at their forum, pretty good info. Amazon is out of stock on the 210, but the next batch according to PCH is 10/12.
Well, here is my cart. Just gotta think on it a little more
The WD drive is actually a 4TB, but Id use it as 2TB RAID

Here is a kink. The oppo 93 will play MKV, could I not just buy the drives and do the playback with the oppo instead of buying the PCH? Is MKV good for 1:1 and hd audio?
Just looked at the FAQ, the oppo actually plays iso too.

It's hit and miss with PH getting lossless via mkv plus with mkv you lose menus etc. & end up with separate mkv files for everything on the disc, you can use chapter advance.
Aha!
Oppo does iso off ehd, uses the Marvell chip and supports hd audio. Awesome, so I need no popcorn, just the raid drive and bd drive. Saweet.
Dunno how I missed out on this for so long.

The only thing that I see the PCH do that the Oppo does not do is PCH has network access. Looks like as long as you stick to EHDs you will be fine.
I am up to about 15 TB of ripped ISOs now. I have the entire SGA series to rip and a couple more box sets that came in.... Probably will be pushing 16TB.

I have selected SGA episodes, & most of SGU (from disc & Hauppauge) ST TOS S1, and selected SG-1 episodes plus all the SG movies along with Caprica in my Scifi folder of one drive which also has a Space folder, funny commercials & other stuff ... I'm only sitting on about 10 TB or so ... have a separate small drive with the entire Battlestar Galactica series on ...
I'm just amazed you can create an image and it plays just like the original, and they can all be easily and safely stored. Cool.
