[QUOTE="leeuwtje, post: 381816, member: 88866"] 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.[URL="http://www.allekabels.nl/product_images//gd_main_964_.jpg"]klik[/URL] 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;)! [/QUOTE]
