Hi all,
I'm looking to setup a pc with an output to a tv (big flatscreen) to
play video files. Sort of like home theatre.
or video files over a lan connection from a server.
recording tv is not necessary but may be good.
Is there a Linux distro that does this or do people go for a hardware
appliance?
Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben,
No matter what you do, make sure you get a working remote control.
I use a shintaro wireless keyboard as the "remote"
its got full sized letter keys and a compact layout for everything else
(no numberpad)
its also got a built in trackball that's good enough for light web
browsing.
and best of all about 15 meters worth of range (most keyboards are about
a meter or so).
~$80-100
