Study the docs to see what hardware you might want and make some basic decisions, like do you want SD or HD, how many sources do you want to handle, how much storage etc.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
