No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Whilst looking about on ebay I noticed someone selling a CD compilation of alternative software, including something called MediaPortal, which according to their website is an alternative, and free, peice of software that works just like MCE, minus the impacton your wallet... :D

Once I get a hard drive for my PVR project I'll be trying it out on that... :D

it's not bad if your tv card works with it. Rough around the edges.

I've used it for a year or so, I quite like it, but agree with Leee that it's not yet got a smooth or finished feel to it.

However it is far better than the software that came with my Hauppauge NovaT DTT tuner
