Hi there, just thought id pop in and say hi! and how impressed i am with the site and software!
i am a newbie to all the HTPC system, and i have gone through many software packages such as windows MCE, Meedio, showshifter ect...
and Media Portal has to be the one that’s grabbed me by the horns the most.
At the end of this month Im going to be moving in with 3 other people and i want to build a stable HTPC system, and this is my current setup.
Athlon 1.6ghz, 1 gig ram , 300 gig hard disk, nebula digi tv card with remote.
Im reading a lot about how the nebula isnt 100% compatible, in order to use its remote you have to run digi tv in the background ect..
i need this HTPC to be really stable, im gana have 4 people that know nothing about HTPC and will just be flicking channels and recording stuff..
will i be better off selling the card and buying another card and seperate remote that syncs 100% with Media portal?
or would you suggest sticking with the Nebula? it is a great card and at the end of the day i could just use digi tv and record and watch tele that way.. but i want all the added ability to view movies and pics and look up the weather ect..
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Pete
