[QUOTE="BAMxi, post: 813126, member: 116765"] Thanks for the advice. I actually think I'm going to slap a tv tuner in my existing desktop, get a remote, replace the noisy case fans, and just place the whole PC behind my tv stand. I was leaning toward an AverMedia tuner card. I just found out that I'm under contract with Dish Network for at least a few more months, so that should give me plenty of time to work out all of the kinks :S. Ive made some progress so far, however. I've gotten MePo installed, started abbreviating MediaPortal as MePo, and installed the StreamedMP skin. I'm also messing with Moving Pictures and My TV Series. My next step is going to be automating utorrent to download new tv series episodes off of an RSS feed, and placing them in the right folders so they're recognized and indexed by my tv series and moving pictures.
