How ´bout a WindBox?!?
I´ve recently added one of those to my oldest son´s room and he´s soo happy! The only thing to consider, is that depite the fact that this box is very little, is also quite noisy...:(
I´m not 100% done with all the settings/setup of MP, but one reflection is that when I stream movies 560p or better, the fan...

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a distributed TV setup in my house. I've got my server / client setup in the lounge but need...
We were all new to MP once ;)
It is a steep learning curve, but that is because it can do soooo much!
My pals (when they come around) like what it can do. One mate is especially envious as he is paying about £90 per month to Sky for multiroom, and I can pretty much do the same thing and have YouTube, iPlayer and all the other...

That would be my recommendation - if you feel you MUST have these, as opposed to 'if it don't work, no worries' then I'd recommend something with more CPU power, so you avoid the risk you'll invest and then find your hitting brick wall. If you happy to try and share success & failures, then different story:-)
Good luck which ever...

I got an ePC mini PC (basically the same as those ACER ones) and use that as a 1080p client. It cost about £120 on eBuyer, but they don't have any in stock now.
As long as you get something that has ION or equivalent, I'm sure it will be fine. One thing I would say is that I had to put XP on mine, as under Win7, it didn't do 1080p so...

I'm looking at a Zotac ZBox DVD-RW ID31 right now (gonna put an SSD into it and use external storage for my collections), will it run MediaPortal skins smoothly and play my 1080p mkv's without hiccups? Anyone have experience with this one?

Yeah, I was surprised about your noise issue, mine produces not sound at all, even during summer time when weather is hot and playing with HD content (36 GB Avatar). I am extremely happy with this piece of hw, the only thing I am not 100% satisfied is the time it requires to boot up (around 2 minutes), but I hardly use it because I...

Think this machine looks like a promising replacement for my EB1012 but I am a bit worried about its graphic performance. Has anyone out here tested this machine with mediaportal and can give a short review on how it works?

Ahh... I vaguely remember mine doing something like this on an install reboot and IIRC when it wanted to reboot during the install procedure I just unplugged the USB drive (or possibly just ejected the disc) to stop it installing from the beginning again. When it needed to read from the disc I think it popped a dialog box up saying...

Hi I have used a Shuttle SH67H3 with an i3 as a main server and love it but I want to use the X350 as client obviously the Ion version is the go but I want to know if any one has any experience with this. I am new to the forum and have not found any information on this elsewhere yet.

Just for future reference, I opened the box and found a thich layer of dust between the heatpipe-radiator and the outlet of the fan effectively preventing cooling of the CPU and GPU.

I have now started this codec discussion on this part of the forum here, as it is more relevant.

I just ordered one of these today and frankly was not sure what I was going to install on it to support my HTPC needs, but I want it to be basically a HTPC "client".
It appears to have identical (or better in that it has 802.11n built-in) h/w as the Asrock that is a hot thread in this forum, so I'm very hopeful for it!

Re: AW: Asrock vision 3d 137B + Netgear XAVB5501 = the perfect MePo client?
Yes. The netgear XAVB5501 is officialy at 500Mbps but for me I have 230-240Mbps (according to the Netgear software) which is perfect for HD content. I watch HD TV and blu-ray rip without any stuttering.
The thing to know with the PCL technology is that it...

Hello,
Don't know if you want to talk only about the Asus EB 1012 but if you search about the best client, what about the Dell Zino 410 HD or the Asrock Vision 3D?
I would hesitate between these two ones...because they look more powerfull for HD contents.
Ideally it could be fine to have feedback from people with one of these ones.

I'm thinking seriously of adding the Core 100HT-BD as a client, then moving my TVServer out of the media room. I'm considering the barebones unit and adding an i5-750 and 4 GB mem. I think a 32bit OS is all I'll ever need for just streaming media from the server. My gigabit wired network should carry the bandwidth just fine. The only...

After playing around late last night... I got it working. The problem is with the HDMI Drivers I suspect (or the TV) not supporting Dolby Digital or DTS thru HDMI. Only supports 2 channels of audio. I read up on other sites other people have that problem.
That said, I used SAF anyways, with FFdshow enabling pass-thru and...
