<div dir="ltr">LinuxMCE is ok, but MAN is it complex! It's probably a great setup if you want to control your whole house with a bunch of linux pc's (and don't we all?), but I've only got 1 pc to set up for now, and no special home control stuff I care to hook up. Oh and it want's to be your DHCP server/WAN/LAN gateway too..... It was way to much hastle, and you still have to get mythTV working, so I just slimmed down to a regular mythtv setup.<br>

</div><a href="http://elisa.fluendo.com/home/" target="_blank">http://elisa.fluendo.com/home/</a> is a nice product. I used it a few<br>
months ago and it was slick but buggy but people I've talked to say<br>
it's improving at a great rate. No DVR though, it's like MCE without a<br>
tv card.<br>
<br>
Which reminds me, our online shop now sells codecs such as windows<br>
media, dvd playback and etc. There's a "basic windows compatible" an<br>
"all except dvd" and a "dvd only" option. I wish there was one that<br>
was all (including dvd) but oh well.<br>

No, I'm not getting a commission on that but I do think its<br>
interesting and I got to help out a bit with the web delivery parts.<br>
