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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: 16 December 2008 15:30 To: The Hardware List 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
