Hi,
This is a great list, but I've got one small thing to add.
When I got serious about setting up an HTPC, one of the biggest problems I had was input peripherals. An old-school USB keyboard had obvious limitations - being tethered to the machine and rather ugly when not in use. Plus I still needed a pointing device. So I...

Hallo Patrik-See,
Windows can handle different resulutions on the Screens, Of course the Setup is in "extended Mode" so the small Touchscreen is the Main screen and the TV is the extended Screen.
Typically I use the the HTPC to listen to Music or Radio, therefore i use the "old" Winamp. The winamp can be easily started and...

Actually, the 2250 is for Clear-QAM capture and one set-top box. (DirecTV receiver) The Colossus 2 is for my cable STB until I can figure out which streaming services give me the programs I want to watch. Once that's done, then the Colossus will do VCR capture and the 2250 will do LaserDisc capture - until I get my entire video...

WOW, its been a couple years since i stated this thread. I think a Windows 10 update started causing problems. I've reinstalled Windows, updated all drivers and firmware, pulled out the HVR-1800 to test with Linux, and bought an WimTV HD Quad, and switch to all OTA. I'm trying to look at other optimizations and options before I get...

No idea if you're still around, but I'd love to know if you've had any issues with a VM doing the TV tuning?
I tried a Win7 and Win10 VM with my TV tuner passed through via Unraid 6 and it would always drop packets when tuned to HD channels via DVB-T2. SD channels always seemed to be ok.

I have the silverstone GD07B and I really like it. No front memory card reader. It takes 2x front 5.25" and a lot of 3.5" drives.
The only bad point is the bottom mounted filter is a HUGE pain to remove for cleaning.

Hi,
If persuading your wife that 3D is the future to be able to buy a new TV set; I would like advice you not to use this as an argument.
I have watched quite some people pay extra money for 3D features on new TV's and since:
1) 3D was a commercial hype
2) there is no standard for 3D
3) the extra cost to create/transport 3D content...

I'm also concerned about EM radiation, so I need some sort of shielding for that. Everything will also have to be "earthed" to the power supply.

If I may give you some suggestions; if you use an serperate graphic card, go for an Intel i3 CPU. Much more performance and it uses less power as fas as I know..
