The only software I use on it is SageTV; it's the ultimate HTPC software as far as I'm concerned. Videos, TV, pictures, music, online video, etc. Cuts out all the commercials in recorded shows, compresses anything older than a week into h264 files, and simple enough that my girlfriend has no problems using it. |
Hey Mick,
I was looking at building my own HTPC, but I keep coming up with a bit more than $400...do you mind my asking which components you used? Does your system play bluray no problem?
Thanks!
