no, you really don't need a second pc to do that stuff, all you need for recording / time shift TV is a tv tuner and a big hard drive.. |

also don't forget a vid card that has tv out, as well as a decent amount of RAM
The media center OS gives you the capability when you have the needed hardware to record, pause and rewind TV, it also has a different interface for all your media types such as photos and music as well as video |
