<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><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>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I like the other suggestions, but since
sound is one of the top concerns I would like to go with a known
quantity that someone is using. I am planning on making a mount to
put it on the back of the tv so I think I will be able to hide well
enough.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Thanks Again</p>
