That looks pretty snazzy photoshop! Done a good job :)
If you're interested there is a way to get moving pictures style backgrounds working within monochrome skin.

I tried StreamedMP with Moving Pictures plugin but was not impressed by it. I like the simple look of monochrome :)
 
I would like to get my head around using MP with an EPG but after reading a few different posts about implementing it my eyes started to glaze over and I gave up, for now.

@photoshop that is a lovely skin you are using. I suppose as I get a little more experienced I might start a little customisation of other skins to make them more to my liking. Looking at your film list I see that it includes the file size. I would have preferred, if possible, for it to have shown the films duration. :)

In "Shares View" it shows file size. I've set it like that because i like to split my movies by type (divx and bluray).

That is a good way to differentiate between the two, a pity that each film couldn't be 'tagged' within the title display instead.
 
Back to remote controls. If you want a cheap remote that works with Vista Media Centre out of the box then the one by the manufacturer "Trust" is great.

£17 quid roughly
 
Quick simple question... where does it get all the episode info from, is it similar to some kinda Gracenote CDDB database?

Thanks fpr posting that I'll have a scan around :)
 
Photoshop - how have you set up your style within the 'My Series' layout to get yours looking as you have done, with the episodes of Lost on the bottom right and the large backdrop on the left..?
 
Do you not find the display on the Antec case annoying? I switched mine off and disconnected the hard drive LED, found them distracting during a film
