Media Center Software

[lolage]

Hey,

I'm currently building a HTPC. Which media center software is best for watching iplayer/itvplayer/4od?

I heard of XBMC but I have been told it cant stream live tv? Whats a good alternative?

Thanks!

You can stream live tv, but it takes tvheadend and some basic linux knowledge.
In this case, WMC + Media browser+ Remote potato is the only way to go.

Windows Media Center would be my vote (I prefer XBMC though but no idea about live streaming)

XBMC is what I use and it's great but there is no out of the box support for live TV, although there are a bunch of workarounds available that require some fiddling with.
