Hello All,
I'm migrating from googletv which is NOT doing it for me anymore. In short, I bought a Hisense pulse which limits the ability of our media center and my ability to tinker. However, in playing with gtv and the pulse, I learned what I really want. I want to build an XBMC box that reflects that, for as little as possible.
what I'm looking for
-linux (not sure if openelec is too limiting). If Openelec isnt enough, distro suggestions are welcome. I'm very familiar with tons of different distros, so that's not an issue.
-tv tuner for OTA integrated watching
-internal storage (2 TB sufficient)
-use of sickbeard/sabnzbd on a same machine
-lowest cost
-upgradable
- enough processing power to be able to stream live sports streams (college football primarily).
-solid case that doesnt limit upgrading future components (not too compact).
I'm sure there's already a forum post/build tailored to exactly this, but I wasnt able to find it, so my apologies.
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance
