[QUOTE="crazy_gadgets, post: 765075, member: 114297"] Hi all I am in the process of building a new htpc. Have had one for the last 5-6 years and its beginning to fall over which is massively decreasing the WAF. Plus I want to take advantage of my new hd 3d tv and av receiver. It will be solely an htpc but does need to play full hd content and 3d etc maybe the odd game. I've been using GBPVR for the last few years but Mediaportal and the potential of using XBMC as a frontend has me switching. So I need to do the usual PVR stuff. Record freeview hd (dvb-t2) multiple channels and watch previously recorded etc and timeshift etc Watch 3d bluray Pass audio to my av reciever Play the odd game Get 4-6 years out of this system! After reading what feels like the whole Internet I have come up with the below list of bits and I'd appreciate a sanity check from you guys. Any comments welcome.
