First of all I'd like to thank the MediaPortal developers for putting together such a wicked program. I fought for years with MythTV and a few other Linux biggies, but it's nice to have the reliability of Windows TV out coupled with something that just works, especially on this old beast:
Pentium III 650MHz with 448mb RAM
20gb drive for Windows and MediaPortal, video and music directories are shares off my main PC
128mb ATI Radeon 9250 running s-video to my TV
Soundblaster Live! running SPDIF into my receiver
Old Packard Bell serial IR remote working via the Winlirc receiver plugin
I can finally say goodbye to the ever growing stack of DVDs in front of my TV and never have to hunt for discs again.
Next I think I'll try my hand at some emulators because a Genesis with a 32x and SegaCD means finding places for 3 massive wallwarts.
