HDTV recording options
The RAID 5-protected large-capacity ReadyNAS makes a perfect storage solution for HDTV recording. Available consumer-level HDTV DVRs currently don't have a standard network storage interface, so if y...
Hi,
I would like to add my support for a ReadyNAS add-on that would support the HDHomeRun range of devices. I believe that this should be an attractive option for Netgear to support as this device is available world wide. The Device provides a transparent interface to ATSC and DVB transmissions via terrestrial and cable networks. The new Prime model will even support encrypted channels in the USA. The HDHomeRun attaches via a standard wired network interface.
There is no physical connection requirement to the ReadyNAS so the two only see each other via a network connection. This means that the two devices can be located wherever makes sense for each particular device. The ReadyNAS can go where it needs to go and the tuner can go wherever its antenna feed is located. They only need a simple network connection.
All I would like to see is some software in the ReadyNAS that allows the user to schedule recordings to be captured to a share within the ReadyNAS. I don't need, or want, any playback or transcoding within the HDHomeRun part of the software. This can safely be left to the existing ReadyNAS media streaming capabilities. The HDHomeRun provides a Transport Stream (TS file) that can simply be saved on the ReadyNAS disk.
It would be appropriate if the software features a web based interface that allows the user to configure the list of available channels and displays a view of the EPG which allows the user to schedule recordings. In Australia our EPG is transmitted as part of the broadcast signal. I understand that other location may require access to their local XML EPG data feed (again, this is usually a network based service).
What do people think? Are there any takers for such an add-on?
Regards,
Ian.
