Not quite a WMC (w/ extenders) killer but they're getting close to that "good enough" product. If the case of the missing extenders isn't solved soon, things like this will bury WMC's chances of becoming the defacto MRV solution for good.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris M]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 12:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pace and Rovi work together to make a standard set-top a true multi-room DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</guid><description><![CDATA[It seems to me that if each STB is a dual tuner DVR, and they are all recording HD shows to the NAS, you are going to hit some limits real quick.  I know MoCa 1.1 is rated at 175mbps, but anyone know some real world numbers?  At a max of 20mbps for an MPEG-2 channel, you'd be limited to 4 STBs recording/buffering at once and that is assuming perfect conditions.  <br><br>Plus with only 500GB that can get filled really quick.<br><br>My other concern would be the fact that if that NAS dies you lose all of your shows.  I think I'd prefer individual DVRs that use cooperative scheduling & a combined list of shows. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scyber]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 7:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pace and Rovi work together to make a standard set-top a true multi-room DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</guid><description><![CDATA[175Mbps is the real world performance of 1.1, the theoretical is like 400 or something. 1.0 was 270Mbps, and I was able to easily send 100 Mbps across it and didn't have the equipment to try more (adapter had 10/100 Nics).<br><br>I agree that 500GB isn't big enough, but even if you had 3 stand-alone DVRs, you'd still only have 480GB (160x3). <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 8:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pace and Rovi work together to make a standard set-top a true multi-room DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great Concept!<br><br>I bet it still uses that ugly, outdated I-Guide user interface.

Therefore, there is a very real possibility that these DVRs (along with similar designs from other STB makers) will allow you to get at your pay TV programming from your PC or other secure DLNA video client.<br><br>I plan to put out a press release in a month or two once I'm further into my research on the topic, but yes there is a real chance that you're now witnessing the first stages of the liberation of your pay content on your home LAN.<br><br>--Stephen Froehlich, Sr. Analyst, IMS Research<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Froehlich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 5:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pace and Rovi work together to make a standard set-top a true multi-room DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/pace-and-rovi-work-together-to-make-a-standard-set-top-a-true-mu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes the release specifically mentions DLNA, UPnP and DTCP-IP. The problem of course is that streaming is one thing, copying is another and any content marked Copy Once still won't be able to be copied to a PC.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 4:43PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
