[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1143570, member: 74879"] Hi, The cheapest client solution would probably be a RaspberryPi 2 running with Kodi/OpenElec, which comes at less than $50. However, you will have to add the SD-card, case and power supply, hence in the end you'll end up at about $80 and will still have a lot of work to do until things are up and running. A more expensive but much more comfortable solution (ca.$140) would be to use one of the Intel Baytrail-based Mini-PCs, which come with full-blast Windows 8.1 Core, entitled to be updated to Win 10, and do a standard MePo client installation on it. I recently purchased one of these and it nicely fits into my HTPC installation at home, running MediaPortal and playing HD (both 1080p and 1080i) without any problems. See my report [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/sumvision-cyclone-mini-pc.131150/page-6#post-1142752']here .[/URL] To both prices above you will need to add the cost of the RC6 receiver and your MCE remote clone.
