Quote from mutz nutz

I would go for a vu duo m8, great solid boxes, loads of support and quite a lot of members on here have them, you can set the box up to share your sub with your friends/family. you could also turn your pc into a server with either ubuntu or debain and continue to use your technomate.

the vu duo, is that an easy bit of kit to set, like plug and play to my router and all done via the box, its alot of money but got a hp n40l nas server that doesnt do much apart from hold hard drives with windows on, is there anyway i can do it from a windows os. i use SMB for xbmc no dont really wanna install a linus os from scratch, ive also got an acer revo which i could install debian or ubunu but woudlnt i lose xbmc plus would that mini acer revo be powerful enough to do it.

ive currently got a genuine subscription and a htpc with windows 7 pro which i use as a media server, im looking to maybe invest in an omnikey to allow me to share my subcription from my pc which is pretty much on 24/7 to friends family. any help appreciated, software/hardware i will require? obv if doing it from a pc is quite hard then a suitable box suggestion which be ok, ive currently got a technomate 5402 which i dont think i can do much with.:ah:
