I'm using vdr-xine so running the tv is: - in the Applications menu choose sound and video:xine - on the xine control bar click on the vdr button = live TV - once xine is running either use onscreen menu or just zap around... >From any PC on the LAN vdradmin lets you see about two weeks TV schedule, administer recordings, schedule recordings... > I've already spent thousands on the HTPC and the Xbox could have > provided the most expensive components for under $200AUS and done a > much better job. I have specs for a new HTPC and all the bits cost around 650? (with DVD- RW and a 200Gb HD). Secondary HTPC for just watching are around 490? with DVD reader. Too expensive I know but aluminium HTPC cases are way over priced and this uses a slim DVD which is twice as expensive as ordinary 5.25". Cheers Tony
