Both showing out of stock for CPT on my side, but noted as "1 week lead time". So order one and they should have one ready for you in about a week.

Currently have 200 in stock in Midrand that was GRVed this afternoon (Monday), as our Manhattan containers arrived late on Friday afternoon

Online store will reflect the new stocks as soon as the update is done, but you can already place orders for them on the Online Store or with a Sales person in your region

We haven’t even updated the pricing as this stock was pre-paid for when the Rand was still at a good rate

Many thanks good sir
That looks similar to what the Doctor prescribed (two EXTERNAL SATA eSATA )
This is the actual one he mentioned though -- > Manhattan PCI Express Card 2 Port Internal ,SATA 6 Gbits ( two INTERNAL SATA )

Finally got my HP up and running as a media center.

Using Crunchbang Waldorf as an OS with XBMC as I couldn't get the correct resolution using XBMCbuntu on my LG 37" HDTV.

SABnzbd, Sickbeard and Couchpotato all setup as well.

Do you find Couchpotato useful? All I seem to get are lots of fakes. Irritates the cr@p out of me. I have CP disabled until I bother researching how to get it to be more reliable.

I have mine set to only search for 720p vids. The only issues I've picked up are when the .rar files are encrypted and the occasional 720p screener (why would anyone create this??!!!). I've also had one instance where it downloaded "Bad Boys" - and not the one with Will Smith :(

I see the special page is gone ? is it over ?

Nope, special is over. Just called.
Funny that, the special was listed as while stocks last, there's still stock in Durban branch, in never ran out, you can buy, but no voucher any more.
It's now cheaper to buy it from elsewhere.

No, not really.

Although I've specified 720p it hasn't downloaded a single movie, so I've been manually searching for the nzb's.
 
Hi Guys.

Does anyone have a link to a decent tutorial to set up the 54L with WHS 2011? I use my 54L as predominantly headless, but opted to place WHS 2011 in place of Ubuntu Server so that my mom can troubleshoot it with me on the phone and not have to use CMD :p

Problem is, I've tried a couple tutorials, and nothing seems to be actually downloading... which sucks.

Thanks

Regards

Itai

Thanks. Great help.

Just bought a N54l. Waiting for WHS 2011 to arrive by 19th September. Have installed 2 additional spare drives and connected to network in prep for WHSc 2011.

Please provide any advice on:

1. Looking for graphics card for hd viewing. Will use serviio loaded on all pc's. What is now available?
2. Currently samsung tv not picking up serviio. Insist on downloading their software to pc. Have bypassed by streaming via Galaxy Tab but irritatung to have to use tab. Apparently tvmobili compatible with samsung. But serviio and Sony TV working well with each other.
3. What RAM best buy. I see use of 1333mhz RAM yet specs say max 800mhz RAM?
4. Does one need the HP remote server card? Thought WHS 2011 provides the remote management option via software and internet/network connection without need for hardware option?

Apologies if old questions but only saw ram and graphics card covered. Graphics cards old cards so what is latest options? RAM just checking ito mhz.

Why not just install a distro with a GUI then?
 
Can somebody please give me an idiots guide on how to setup couchpotato, seems like a very convenient app.. I just always transfer my newly downloaded stuff over from an ext hdd.. and as you can imagine can take a while too.
 
I have an N40L currently running two 3TB WD red drives on W8pro. The system officially supports up to 2tb but I haven't had any problems.

I'm thinking of adding two 4TB WD red drives now but I'm wondering if these will run in the system. Rather not spend R5k to find out they're useless.

Anyone running 4TB drives already or can anyone think of a reason why they wouldn't work?
 
And after setting this thing up how exactly does it download the movies directly to the HTPC??? It doesnt make sense.. from the Tut it only seems like it downloads it to the PC and you'll have to stream it remotely?
