Hi All:
The Wife and myself are thinking about getting a second computer to:
(1) Record programs from over the air (antenna) and satellite.
(2) Transfer all our DVD's and VCR tapes to the hard drive. This will get rid
of several cabinets. I am guessing that we will have to watch the
VCR tapes while recording them to the hard drive.
(3) Download movies from the internet.
We went to Best Buy and talked with the Salesman and after a 20 minute spew all I could say was "uh-huh, I need to talk to the wife about this some more." That converstion started with me asking "Did you understand that?"
Now then, I am assuming that this can be done so could anyone tell me what I would need to get to do this? Anything special about the computer itself?, and what else would I need? I would also be interested in any download sites that are safe and LEGAL for downloading movies and music. Our general idea is to create a libary of all our media that we can add to from several ways (hopefully cheaper) while getting rid of some video cabinets and making it easier to find and play.
Thanks
