First of all thank you everyone on this site who contributes so much information for little or no reward!
I've been an XBMC convert for almost a year now and feel I have outgrown my basic setup and feel a bit confused as to what I should do next.
Currently I have an apple tv2 playing content stored on a time capsule device wirelessly. This was all well and good up to now but I am quickly running out of storage and have no real backup. plus the ATV will not display 1080 and is a bit slow to respond to anything these days.
I have three options and am hoping somebody has been in a similar situation before and can tell me the best way to do this
1. Build a server using the guides here and continue using the ATV2
2. Build a new HTPC and continue using the Timecapsule
3. Build a combination of both in one box (will be stored in a room behind the TV so noise should not be a problem)
Unfortunately I can't do 1 and 2 together at the same time but is it recommended to get one in place before the other? I've heard option 3 can be a bad idea also but I'm not sure exactly why.
