potatochobit Posted October 24, 2011 a processor attached to a display does not make a home theater, I think people throw this term around too much but if you consider the main purpose of the PC is for entertainment, then I think it's fine anyway, I just bought a roku 2 XD its a neat little gadget, wireless and smaller than an SSD, but you have to pay to access alot of the content on most channels I am still collecting pieces to my dedicated HTPC, trying to reuse what I can and find good deals I need to find another cheap windows7 license, dont want to use XP even if its free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hardnrg Posted October 26, 2011 I have a dedicated HTPC with quad tuners (2xDVB-S, 2xDVB-T), 1TB HDD for TV record/timeshift, movies/series/etc from NAS, 7MC + MediaBrowser + MCE Remote, HDMI to TV, analog stereo out to amp. It's a machine that runs any time the TV is on (and even when the TV is off, for scheduled recordings)... with a £180 ($290 USD) case that I had to import from the Italian manufacturer. (2nd machine in my sig) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
