Hi all,
Tomorrow I will be receiving everything I need to turn my gaming pc into a media centre (I don't really play games any more so want to put this hardware to good use).
The media centre will have a dual freeview tuner card, a blu ray drive and lots of storage as well as internet access. I will be installing windows 7 on the pc.
What software should I use for my media centre? Is the windows 7 media centre the best or should I look for something else?
I will be ripping my blu rays and dvds to the pc to play within the media centre and keeping my current blu ray player to run alongside the media centre (I understand that getting blu rays to play in media centre is a bit tricky!)
What other software should I look at? How can I take advantage of the internet on the media centre (ie iplayer and 4od etc).
Any other suggestions on setting up a media centre is appreciated!
Thanks
