Only thing I can fault it on, with all that included, it should come with a slide out Harddrive, thats easy enough to install though. 1700 Aud, doesn't come with a screen/monitor..

HDTV PVR, with 250 gig Hardrive, would have to be at least 800 bucks maybe more.

I think Media centre is the future, but if the aussie TV stations don't release/keep to a schedule that it can download, then it's losing half it's functionality. In the UK, as you may or may not know the programme scheduling is pretty solid. BBC & Sky/digital channels tend to keep to their schedules like clockwork, whereas ITV & C4 often overrun.

Microwaves run at 2.4 gig as well dammit.

There is so much choice in these areas now, that it is bloody confusing.

Paypal me the dosh and I`ll get the DK915 or the Umax/Yamada one for you from ebuyer and put it in our shipment to Perth (which will hit Fremantle around the end of July).
