MCE discussion cont

[timmy]

i think most folks here will probably say 'why bother.. tivo is much better'

or something like that anyway

FWIW i've got MCE 2005 installed on my primary desktop machine actually. Didn't think much of the media centre app tho, pretty average. Just needed an XP copy with SP2 integrated. Use nlite to customize it and get it down to one cd. quite useful

I thought of buying the remote for it actually till I realised I could probably only control the media centre app (actually i'm sure there is support for other apps etc). I decided to get an ATI remote wonder II instead as it's RF which is nice for my newly made cheapass (but quiet) wooden server box. lol

Anyway, I know a couple of people running it in NZ with XMLTV data so I know it works and for some it's a preferred solution over Tivo.


cheers,
