[quote][i]Originally posted by Bart[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] Popcorn Hour offers a decent interface if you want an off the shelf system, otherwise something like a WDTV is a lot cheaper but doesn't really offer much in terms of a fancy interface. [/quote] This. Having owned a HTTPC for a number of years and swapped over to the Popcorn Hour C-200, I can comfortably say I prefer the Popcorn Hour. Its really each to their own, and depends on what you want. If your looking for a solid, decent media player (which includes all of the covers etc you've mentioned above), a device that simply "Just works", then the PCH is the device for you. If you want something with more flexability, something you can install various different software on, and dont mind with having to do windows updates each week and the occasional OS re-install, then a HTTP PC with windows is for you. Personally, I think the Windows Media Center is waaaaaaay behind in terms of technology and it doesnt offer many playback formats compared to other competitors. That said, there are lots of other media center software packages available to download. For me, it had to be simple enough for the wife to use and look good. PCH :thumbs: [/quote]
