[QUOTE="asd7000, post: 365312, member: 74973"] Windows 7 will be able to use the xBox360 as media center extender i´m sure there was an option. But i don´t have one so i couldn´t test that feature. But i didn´t like the Windows Media Center because it made my scaleo e sounds like a turbine. And the informations on the vfd display were very poor so switched to MediaPortal. For MediaPortal you can use nearly every old PC or Laptop as extender even for TV. Windows XP with .Net is needed and a DirectX 9 compatible Graphic Card. There is a plugin for the Windows Media Center so you can use the TV-Server of MediaPortal and use the Gui of the WMC. But i agree with you i would like to see a Linux Extender for MediaPortal and Windows Media Center, too. Windows is to big and slow for that job. Ok compact flash crads aren´t that expensive today but even the fast obe make windows feel like using an old pentium. For remote controling there is a webinterface for MediaPortal. You only need a browser to access that webinterface it has the epg and you are able to watch the TV-Servers status. Even you can schedule recordings or manage them. [/QUOTE]
