</div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Everyone,<br>Thanks for the advice on a
front end. <br><br>My real question now is will a Revo 1600 and
an external dvd work for streaming hd (assuming 2 gb) or do I need to
go with the 3610. What about if I eventually add a HD-PVR and use it
as a a second BE/FE, will the 1600 still so that?<br></p></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div><br>the 1600 will do HD<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>Also, do I
need to replace the drive with a solid state drive to make it quite
or is the Revo virtually sound free. My wife's main complaint
in the tv room is the sound (fan and or hd noise). I think I read
that some people install myth on a memory card do they disable the
hard drive for complete quite?</p></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div><br>It has a fan and a HD. You can run diskless (network booting) or use a flash or ssd if you want total quiet. The fan will remain though. <br>
