[QUOTE="SleepyD, post: 337390, member: 85213"] After a miserable experience with Vista MCE and a Linksys DMA 2200 Media Extender I have decided to purchase a PC dedicated to media. I have a great high speed connection and wireless network. I could not get the Linksys to work well at all wired or wireless. I also have the Netflix ROKU box and it works perfectly. Blah Blah:rolleyes: What I am asking of this forum is to recommend what I should install with the latest Media Portal build. I bought a PC that I will dedicate to the living room. I want to take it out of the box, load it up with software, and start watching TV (37" Westinghouse LCD HDTV). I have read a lot of the forums and I believe the contributors are people I want helping me make this as painless as possible. I just don't have the time to mess around with things like I used to. That Linksys about got thrown out the window. Drove me nuts.:growl::bitch: OK here is what I have bought and would like to make my media center.:D I will also be connecting a Pinnacle PCTV HD pro stick. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE. I thinks this will be fun.
