[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6150"] I built an MCE 2005 box with dual tuners. The OEM copy I got was $150 CAD. I have serveral Xboxes in my house and already have solution for playing back Music, video and pictures using XBMC. The only thing missing is that I wanted to be able to have a network PVR. MCE2005 seemed to be the best solution for me because of the Xbox extenders. It works very slick... I have two Xbox Extenders and a Linksys WMCE54AG. Now I hope that one day I will be able to replace MCE2005 and Xbox extenders with MediaPortals all linked together. For those who think MediaPortal is not very good, just look back several months to the first versions and see how far it has come. Next, go look at some other solutions and actually try them and then compare to MediaPortal. An example is the Music playback. I am used to XBMC and MediaPortal is very similar (I still prefer XBMC right now though). For fun, I copied about 50 albums to my MCE2005 box and tried using it to play Music. Sure it worked, but not even remotely close to being as good as MP or XBMC. I have disabled all menu options on MCE2005 except My TV and My Pictures (cannot figure out how to remove latter). [/QUOTE]
