I think my priorities are : 1) play divx movies 2) play dvd 3) play mp3 4) show jpeg 5) record from tv is the last because I have a dreambox 7000 and I use it to record from sat (where the italian tv channels are duped). So I ask for a kind suggestion of what I should buy/equip :-) -- Best Regards, Gianmarco Giovannelli http://www.gufi.org/~gmarco
