Max take a look at GBPVR http://www.gbpvr.com/ I think it is way better than MediaPortal. Also take a look at JKDefrag http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/ of course these are all, the f-word, free. As a side-note: if you are interested in streaming media from your computer or NAS to your TV then look at Popcorn Hour http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/ this is a very interesting device that will stream virtually all movie types to your HDTV including ripped DVD's and Blu-Rays. This setup eliminates the "TIVO" box where your computer records all the movies/TV shows providing you have the appropriate TV card.
