My first contact with Media Portal was in begin 2008. In November 2009 I presented my first configuration Multiseat setup Media Server / Mini-iTX Client, and year of operation as it introduced the Another ION HTPC - T.I.B.

I've started thinking about retiring my HTPC, and reusing it as a dedicated media/tv server. It already has large capacity drives for my media and smaller drives for timeshifting and recorded TV. Everything will be connected via Gigabit LAN, which also has my current 2 HDHomerun dual tuners for OTA TV, and DSL modem. I already have a...

I used the Zalman Reservator 2 tower about 4 years ago. There wasn't much in the way of heatpipes around and it did a good job of cooling cpu, graphics and fanless powersupply. Water was about my only option then.
For the graphics card I am using the onboard card, works fine for video and TV (HDTV as well).

Hi folks,
since I just bought a new TV. The Lg 32LD350, for it's great price and because of the builtin DVB-T Tuner.
Also took a Newstar FPMA-W935 with it for wall mountig.
This would be the perfect moment to replace my current HTPC which is placed in a ugly case and has old hardware(like a AMD XP 3000+). Current one can barely...

I'm using an HD4250 integrated and it's fine for SD content (like you I have very little HD to put through the TV at the moment). Assuming the integrated graphics is of a similar power I think you'll be fine. I'd certainly say try it and add a discrete card later if you find the integrated graphics are not up to scratch.

Hi there,
I can not comment on the NAS software/OS - A lot will depend on any extra "services" you may wish it to do (backups, printing, DNS, DHCP, etc)
As for RAID, it comes down to your RAID controller. Normally, when you create an array (RAID1,5,6 most common types - unless you class RAID0 as a RAID) the disk size is governed...

Hi Nikos

Re: AW: Re: Project "Add a new room to your configuration"
You're talking about resolutions, I'm talking about the media the broadcaster publish.
