Hey guys,
Lately i have been getting all excited about Apple TV.
I dont own it, and it looks like i wont need to own it anyway.
Heres how things are. I have a PC that i made for HTPC use, but, i never actually got around to setting it up for HTPC use, since i needed to get a TV tuner for my cable to run on it.
So i just used it for movies (windows media player) and browsing internet on my tv and friends used it at a normal pc, with keyboard and mouse when they are over.
This has got to stop now! I finally got around to learning about all this stuff, and found that i really like XBMC. So im going to run that on my htpc, buy a damn tuner and get all my channels setup on it.
This brings questions?
1. Which tuner? I know it needs to have DVB-C since i run cable, but it has to be a digital one to get the HD channels on the cable i would presume? (If any danish people are lurking, its for Yousee Cable use)
2. How hard is it to get a Logitech Harmony remote to work with this? Dont want to buy one until i know for sure?
3. I am rambling on about XBMC, but is there a better one? If yes, which and why should i change my mind since i do like XBMC.
Thanks
