are you familiar with Linux Gentoo and Mythtv at all?
No I am not. My son maybe but not me. I'm just an old guy trying to learn. I guess I misunderstood your summary ("The Installation is very easy, plug the HDMI cable to your LCD HD TV then power cord , connect the satellite cable and you are done. Only 3 cables to watch Tv and surf on the net.")
Indirectly you answered my question. I don't mind learning, but for a grand I guess I should just stick with something I'm more sure of, the Vantage HD8000 to replace my HD 7100s. I was really hoping to get something geared more for the US but the Vantage works well with some software tweaks. Thanks again for your help.
Anthony.
