what tv software are u running id it free or just a tv cable connected to the htpc

[hometheatercre8]

@hulkzoom Its called mediabrowser (mediabrowser.tv) its free, I also use Windows Media Center for the TV with a Tuner card

[hulkzoom]

@hometheatercre8 so i can watch free tv shows on it?

[hometheatercre8]

@hulkzoom mediabrowser is only an organizer for files already on your computer, you can use a TV tuner to record TV from a HDTV antenna, use programs downloaded form itunes, urottent or a usenet, or you can use it to play episodes ripped from a dvd disc.

@topendspeed My build is not used for gaming and only has 2tb of storage, so your budget is pretty good, you can probably spend under $1000 and get what you need. Check out mediabrowser.tv and avsforum.com for help with your build

Case – NMEDIA 2000b atx case with lcd

Powersupply – OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
