Or just have everything on your network.

This got me thinking about how well MediaPortal would run on a NetBook

All the TV recording and timeshifting etc is done by the server which in my case is a AM2 4200+ with 4GB. The MP frontend should put toooo much of a strain on the processor, especially when it has directX graphics hardware.

As an added bonus you could easily srap one of these to the back of a plasma screen to hide it.
