I'm a bit of a fan of MediaPortal (http://www.team-mediaportal.com).

Free and Open Source. They are heading for a 1.0.0 release very soon, my
money is on it being released within the week as a Christmas present to the
community. 

It does have more of a focus on digital TV these days, especially as much of
the development is European as opposed to being US centric, but their
skinning and plug-in support is pretty good too.

Subject: [H] HTPC - Which Software?

I have an older computer that is being dedicated to playing videos &
TV.  Happauge card (PVR-150) installed.  I'm not really happy with the
WinTV2000 software (WinTV, with this card, refuses to see any
channels), so the question becomes, which HTPC software should I use?
A remote came with the PVR-150, and I'd like to fully use that.  Right
now, if I go full screen with WinTV2000, the up/dn channel selector
stops working, although I can punch in numbers.  Just wondering what
others are using.  The system is currently running WinXP.

Thanks...Steve
