Hello,
I've been reading this forum for a couple months now but am still quite helpless at all this so would appreciate any help.
I'm looking to build/purchase a Windows Home Server 2011 rig that would store all my media content. The question I have is whether or not I can run XBMC on the WHS server as well (removing the necessity for another standalone HTPC). Also, can I run things like uTorrent / SABnzbd+ / Sickbeard / Couch Potato on the server?
Is this feasible, and if so, advisable? If not, what is the best option, in your opinion?
Also - I've never used WHS - but can you set it up to display on your TV, and do things like browse Internet Explorer and stream sports (from sites like adthe.net, RIP)
Thanks a bunch
