New HTPC solution from Evesham
You folks in the UK seem to be getting a lot of good stuff as far PVR / DVR solutions go.
Evesham have released the e-box3 which if geared towards the HTPC market. This thing is more than a simple PVR / DVR. It runs Windows Media Center Edition on an AMD 64 bit CPU. It also comes with either a single tuner, or a dual tuner which allows you to record one show and watch another, or record 2 shows at the same time and watch previously recorded content. The e-box3 also sports a 400GB hard drive which can hold up to 150 hours of video (that’s about 6 days worth of TV).
Since this unit is a more of HTPC device it also plays your DVD’s as well as MP3s and it has USB and Firewire connections so that you can add new media to the device (photos, video, etc).
If you opt to go with the digital TV tuner, you will also get access to over 30 Freeview channels.
The price tag of this puppy is £699, which isn’t too bad when you consider that it is a DVD player, a CD player, a PVR and a PC.
