I tried media portal on a couple machines and didn't like it. I do have capture cards and can't remember what specifically turned me off to it. I still use an older version of Meedio from prior to the software going commercial and it works well even on low power PC's. I have a tablet PC (only 500mhz P3) that streams divx, xvid, mpeg, etc., without any difficulties

Caveat: I don't use tuner cards (I'm a satellite guy) so my HTPC use is for playback of content already on the server. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundtion.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 1:00 PM, James Maki <[email protected]>wrote: > Been REALLY happy with SageTV. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] > > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > > Steve Tomporowski > > Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 7:30 AM > > To: The Hardware List > > Subject: [H] HTPC - Which Software? > > > > I have an older computer that is being dedicated to playing > > videos & TV.
