[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 988765, member: 103549"] Hi Matt I assume you mean basic fixed function appliance type unit, with embedded OS and fixed function. That being the case, sorry but no MediaPortal is Windows only - these appliance units are generally an embedded Linux, so you need a functional PC base - quite a small and simple PC will suffice in most cases, I've used re purposed laptops [XP for real and Win8 for a test], Atom based units [just retired my Shuttle ION unit from main client to TV Server], etc etc. If you've not done so, look at XMBC <[url]http://xbmc.org/about/[/url]> and OpenLEC <[url]http://openelec.tv/[/url]> as well. Good luck and good hunting:D Cheers - JCMP PS - I know I'm biased, but MePo is indeed incredible(y) [/QUOTE]
