My first post
Have been scanning the forums for a few days but cant find an answer to one query
I have a Hauppauge WinTV DVB-T Hybrid Tuner - not sure of the exact model as its come out of an old Philips Freevents PC ... anyway my question is - is the pci card compatible with XBMC ? if so how do I get it to work (simple plain English instructions pls)
I'm going to install XBMC on a bargain PC that I'm about to have delivered.
Intel® Pentium® Processor E5300 2.6 GHz
2GB DDR3
320 HD
Intel GMA X4500HD graphics processor
Hauppauge DVB-T Tuner (if compatible)
MCE Remote control
This PC is going to be attached to my TV via VGA and will only be running XBMC (in win7 Premium 64-bit)ONLY - So I think the specs are very adequate for there needs ?
Do I need to install any security programs ? AV ect ? I'm thinking I do but you probably know better ?
I will be streaming over LAN from my Movie, Music, Pictures and TV folders on my main PC. Also installing iPlayer, TVCatchup and IceFilms plugins. What I would like to know is am I missing anything regarding online streaming plugins ? are there any others that I dont know about ? I'm in the UK btw
Has anyone any tips for making my XBMC the ultimate source of entertainment ?
Thanks in advance for any advice, it will be greatly appreciated
