Thanks a lot for all the feedbacks so far.
Wow, I didn't know that RMM is controversal in the VDR community. 

For me it's not so important to keep using the HD extension but would need to use the NetCeiver in order to get the TV channels. But if the VDR version of RMM is different than the normal version then I might have problems. In addition I was not able to find Linux drivers or the Plug-in Software for the VDR so far.

there is a great possibility that packages related to the software already installed on the device would be removed or be unusable...

I see, so I would have to install it the other way round. Do a clean install and add the packages for the box to have a better success, right?
Fortunately they include a recovery DVD with the box so if anything goes wrong I can just insert the DVD.

Unfortunately there is no price yet for the Reelbone as they just started shipping the AVG.
The Reelbox Avantgarde HD sells for € 1'500.00 so I guess the Reelbone will be around half of the price.

Hi, I know it's a bit confusing, but with this device Kubuntu uses the Intel GMA 950 out and VDR uses the PCI HDTV Decoder Card (Micronas DeCypher).
As you can install LinuxMCE over an existing Kubuntu installation you wouldn't have to wipe out or partition the existing harddrive.

Therefore my questions.

Feature requests & roadmap / Reelbox Avantgarde HD

I don't know if someone in this Forum ever heard of the Reelbox Avantgarde HD.
In short this MediaCenter Box is based on Notebook Technology and runs VDR and Kubuntu 7.10.
Further infos: http://www.reel-multimedia.com/rmm-english/avantgarde.html

As you can imagine the box lacks real MediaCenter capabilities like the one's in LinuxMCE. 
Now my questions are:
1. Is there a beta Version already available for LinuxMCE 7.10? (Would love to test it as soon as I receive my box.)
2. Will the VDR of LinuxMCE 7.10 overwrite the settings of the installed VDR on the box?
3. VDR requires a special graphics adapter (like the Micronas DeCypher) and doesn't work with a normal Graphiccard. Is this different with LinuxMCE 7.10?

Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback,
