The Toppy won't series-link properly, although I had the impression that this was fairly general except for the Sky box and Tivo?
Apart from that, and the fact that we can't see anything on the ITV/ C4 mux because either the aerial or the transmission strength in our part of Ipswich is wrong, we're absolutely fine with it.
You need to look at getting some of the "Taps" to run on it, you really *need* MyStuff ( http://www.bobdsmystuff.co.uk/ ) and the other associated bits that go with it. Without these bits it's not a great pvr but as soon as you add them it's a really capable machine. I'd also look at trying to get your aerial sorted maybe as it will grumble sometimes if things aren't perfect.
As for the stuff I was on about, hmmmn, it'd probably be easier to explain in person, but the Asus box is just running an embedded form of Linux with a few packages to make the contents of the Toppy available over the network. You probably want to take a look at http://www.toppy.org.uk as there is plenty of useful things on that forum that explain it in depth. I was going to write a script that would automagically setup an Asus router but I've not got a round tuit yet.
