New Media center user with Questions
I have a HP Pavilion Notebook that I am planning to use as a dvr and to stream video off the web and hard wire to my tv and use a Haupague USB duel tuner. My question for now is if I can utilize this laptop for this purpose while I am also using it to run another program at the same time? I use another program that utilizes the notebook display as well as two other displays connected through usb ports. Im wondering if I can assign the media center to either the vga or hdmi port and let it run in the background while running this other program? Or would I be better suited to use another dedicated computer to run the media center with.It is a situation that requires that the media center not interfere with the other program. I think that the processor has plenty of power to push the programs as the Core i7-2720OM processor only runs at about 5% utilization without the media center software running. Thanks for any insights you may have inadvance.
