G'day all!
Hi, I have just built ma first htpc after upgrading my desktop pc for better gaming, and I love it!
Am no noob to pc setups and have been an enthusiastic ubuntu user for years, but vista mce seemed well integrated and easy, so I bought it.
So far fairly impressed. With cyberlink dvd upscaling and the klite codec pack in hand I have a machine that will play any file known to mankind. Great stuff!
Only gripe is that I have my htpc offline (cable internet not wireless) so lack any epg. Oddly enough I have winfast's pvr2 shipped with my tv card and it gets free to air epg info. Wish there was way to port info from one to the other! (I would use winfast's software, but their remote sucks, and can't use mce remote with it very well).
Also, being in frankston the reception is horrible. Don't get nine at all on ma pc reception, although onboard tv tuner gets it fine.... maybe need a powered splitter... Anyways, hi to ya all and I hope to get this thing running perfectly soon...
About me? Oh, I'm 34, have two tiny kidlings, work in patient transport ambulance and live in frankston, Melbourne. And need a holiday!
