    HDD PVR and Controlling one over the internet

    I maybe living abroad again for a bit and while I am there I want to be able to watch brit TV.

    Now I have heard of slingbox but it doesnt do exactly what I want (so I've been told), which is to
    be able to transfer the saved files rather than just streaming them.

    Ideally I would like a PVR which has twin free view tuners, can play Xvid/DivX files, can be controlled
    over the internet i.e set to record via the EPG, saved file access, WiFi/ethernet connection.

    Does such a box exist ?

    I'm not sure you'll find something off the shelf that will do all that.
    You're probably looking at a mythtv build or similar

    Don't know if it's any use but Sony used to make a "location free" device that I think did exactly that - allowed you to watch your home TV from anywhere via the Internet, although I don't think it had PVR capabilities.

    Thanks for the replies,

    From not being able to find much like that on the internet I had a feeling that it
    would be a self build thing. As I wont be here to look after it though I want to stay
    away from a PC version.

    An all in one would be nice but I could live with a PVR and a slingbox type thing
    which allows file transfers.

    I have seen wifi/ethernet enabled PVRs but I am unsure on exactly what you can
    do with them.
