Hi all,
Im new to the htpc hype (building on this moment a htpc) and i have a few questions. Maybe they are allready on the forum but i searched for a while through the forum and didnt find the answer.
I used until now my gamepc to stream video but that pc is way to loud, eats to much power and all that software/movies/music makes him very slow. And the quality of vlc is far from what i have when i use my dvd player.
So here we goes:
1: Is it possible to stream content from a central server i have connected directly to my htpc? Or maybe a networkdrive?
2: Is it possible to use upscale software. Or maybe that mediaportal use ffdshow filter to play movies?
(My beamer dont likes the low resolution
)
3: whats the best way to connect the htpc on my beamer? On the dvi connector or with a Dvi->hdmi connector.klik I dont think it will make much difference but asking isnt that bad, isnt?
4: Wich tv kaart is the best to watch satelite tv (astrasat...) to have all the nice advantages that a ready to buy box have.
Sorry, my english isnt that good, but i try my best. So dont blame me when you can understand what im trying to say
