[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1295273, member: 128337"] Media in the form of files on your disk drives can be accessed by adding the locations (both local and networked) to for example the Videos section (there are also Image and Audio sections in the standard install) in Media Portal which will present them for playback on you connected display/TV, also the Moving Pictures and TV Series plugins offer improved features and functionality for organising video media. Media Portal supports most TV tuners hard connected to the HTPC via PCi or PCIe for OTA, Cable and Sat. it can also play some internet streams including Netflix and Amazon for those with a subscription and free ones such as the BBC in the UK for example via the Online Videos plugin. To the best of my knowledge Media Portal does not support Roku or other external internet streaming devices. No, you can also set up "client" HTPCs with their own display/TV and source any of the content stored or available to the "server" HTPC via your home network. [/QUOTE]
