<br>The PCH fits the bill on all of the above. I'm just wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at. For example, Newegg has <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16882005044" target="_blank">this combination Blu-ray/DLNA player</a> for $169.99. I doubt my in-laws would use the Blu-ray much and I'd be concerned that the DLNA support wouldn't provide seamless MythTV integration but nevertheless it is interesting because of the range of capabilities.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I don't see any body correcting it, but BD370 is NOT a DLNA player. Only <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882005043">BD390</a> is DLNA capable and that sells for 250+. The cheapest BD390 I saw was 199$ from abcwarehouse or something. I got lucked out and bot BD370 from frys at $77 on black friday. BD370 plays netflix and youtube. If you are in UK, it'll also play divx etc. US models dont play divx etc.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">So is the PCH the best HD MythTV player out there or is there something better (and by that I mean mostly cheaper :-).<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Not really. I always have problems with HD mpeg2-ts recordings, esp ffwd/rew them. Also, if there is a glitch in audio in the recording, it has tough time syncing back. Most of the time, the audio will be gone. I belive PCH is best of torrent/mkv crowd.<br>
<br>I have IOData AVel Linkplayer 2 since 2005 and PCH A-100 since 2008 since I don't want to put a PC in my living room. I think IOData was the best player for playing mpeg2-TS recordings. BTW, for playing live TV on PCH, <a href="https://ssl.bugfree.ch/trac/llink-mod/wiki">check this out</a> . Its awesome !!!<br>
