I moved my 720p TV to the bedroom and would like to hook up a quiet PC to it for MediaPortal. Can anyone suggest something that is cheap and known to be stable for MediaPortal?

    For cheapest build you probably need to build a custom pc yourself. there are plenty of threads already to suggest what to put in it. To save money you might get a motherboard with integrated gfx.

    Hi!

    I use an Asus EeeBox EB1012. In Germany about 329,- €. Works perfect with MP

    Full HD / small / silent / save electricity

    A perfect solution for me. (I guess you are in multiseat mode!?)

    I'm in the same situation, but, I've a 22" monitor and I want the HTPC for internet and emulators too.



    It's spanish but I think iit's clear enough... will I have any compatibility problems?

    Thanks!

    The Asrock 330 is good, but not silent. I wouldn't want mine in the bedroom. The PSU makes a horrible whistling noise when the PC is on standby, for a start :(

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    Yes, I saw that. Was beyond my understanding, however. Didn't see how to set that up. I'm a relative neophyte, who's done hardly any command-line coding. To be more specific: I don't see, under either "Grabbing Listings" or in the "First use example," where it is designated just where on one's C drive the tv.xml file is...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
