Ok FANTASTIC... I can't even begin to tell you how much i love xTV...
Let me try... 4 days ago, not having ever owned a gaming system... I am SO not a gamer... I just don't have the coordination. I do however have a PC hooked up to every tv in the house... linked to a server with all my media on it (and believe me I have a few TB of divx movies and tv seasons music... LOTS!!!) all the pc's are all running MCE'05... (like many, I am not a fan of vista) but I digress.
I was looking online for a screenshot of Linux Media Centre? I was growing weary of MCE... I STUMBLED onto XBMC... and it didn't take long before I was reading the wiki... and voila xtv... I KNOW about appleTV but I hate itunes even more than vista!!! although BEAUTIFUL like all things apple using the sync with itunes... BLECH, then I find xtv, and xbmc...
I ran out FRIDAY, bought an XBOX with a remote and the high end monster cable and ran across town to get some shady kid to soft-mod it for me... he did great (*I think)... I coulda figured it all out in a few days but $15 and 30 minutes and I was home... and no I don't think I'll ever play a game on it... hahaha...
It took a while to configure but that is GOOD! SO MANY OPTIONS... I love it.
and it connects to shares... my 'special' daughter figured it out in 10 minutes... and in a couple weeks I am replacing other HTPC's in the house with Xbox's!!!
THANK YOU!!! No criticism, no requests for changes... just a THANK YOU!!!
works perfect right out of the box...
thank you to the XBMC team, and the xTV team! So, do you have an xTV or XBMC cafepress store where I can get a teeshirt or somethin?
