One additional point. I understand that online television services like ATT's U-verse or Verizon's FIOS may not work so well with Media Center. It's something to do with how they bring in only a single signal at a time.

Can you set up schedules and things like that? How about just watching tv through it?

I don't know of where to go, but I use an XP Media Center computer with Jaws and Charter cable. It all works pretty slickly.

I've heard that there may be a little less functionality with VISTA or Windows 7 Media Center computers, but can't attest to that.

If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.

Though I can easily find tv programs, record them and play them back and play dvds, I can't say that the interface for other functions isn't a little clunky from time to time.

Hi everyone. I'm looking in to getting a new desktop pc but not really sure where to start. I've been looking at media center computers because I would like to hook up my tv / cable box so I can have some form of control.
Any tips or places to go for some information?
thanks in advance
