Lovely set up mate. If I'd seen this thread before you came for speakers I'd have offered to drop them off instead!

I have them speakers working in Zone 2 off my onkyo 876 perfectly.

cheers

Excellent mate.

Just 10 minutes chatting with you ended badly... (well, so my wife thinks).

I bought a new 50" Plasma yesterday.

hehe

Congrats...as ever they all come around in the end.

That is an awesome setup easyrider! Dont want to browse 30 pages so I don't know if this has been asked yet; how long did it take you to prepare it all?

All in all about 3 months off and on

Cheers guys,

Who said in this thread...that the screen will get smaller as time goes on?

easyrider · 30 Aug 2010 at 22:12

Major change to the way in which I view my movies.

I have been streaming to my PS3 from my Windows Home server but the lack of menu's and search functions along with NO MKV support are starting to grate.

So I have just bought a Playon HD Mini

I will post a HD video of it in action when I install it this week.

I have created my YAMJ JUKE BOX ready

Will be interesting to see how it performs..

that looks pretty nice easyrider - how customisable is the views / menus etc on that player? It looks good, but tbh doesn't look as good as some of the xmbc skins out there - but i was just wondering if there are more options / skins / mods available for it.

certainly whips using a ps3 though!!

Its fine for my needs and I quite like the simplicity of it.

I'm watching films not looking at fancy back drops

The cost of the unit was 79 quid and has awsome support and development with firmware updates.

It was a no brainer for me.

It gets delivered Tomorrow so I will post my findings of it.

I need some advice for the thread that i have made
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18211852

What kind of sound deading did you use, are there any pointers or regrets you have?

thanks for sharing.

Missed this post. Apologies

I made some Bass traps and acoustic panels using speaker material and rockwool on wooden frames. They are in this thread with pics of me making them.

I need to get around to buying a bigger rug

Completely agree! Easyrider, now that you've had time to settle in and get used to it, is there anything you plan on adding/changing/wished you done differently etc?

Looks amazing.

TBH...I wouldn't change anything...I had a clear vision from the start of what I wanted...Everything just seem to fit into place

Easy, when are you going to invite me round? I'll bring the popcorn!

Cheers ManCuBuS

I dabbled with PS3 then playon HD

I now run 24/7 XBMC and windows home server. Fast, reliable and hassle free.

Looks cool too..I have had zero issues with it...Its robust when scanning through films and just works.

The backbone is WHS currently sitting at 12TB...Its the centre of my digital world and don't know how I managed without it.

Yeah, I'm intrigued. Looks like you're using Media Browser. Do you burn your own DVDs or get them another way?

Did dabble with media browser but that didn't last long

The playon HD is a cool bit of kit but the GUI lacks sleekness

Does that mean you run XMBC on a WHS or a client PC accessing the WHS?

Client PC accessing the WHS

So do you have a collection of Blu Rays and DVDs or do you store films on a hard drive?

Everything has been ripped to the Server and is streamed. 12TB in total

I hate disc's they collect dust and need putting into the drive to play

Streaming is where its at.
