Offers a better feature set, very similar interface, and has much better support for a larger variety of codecs. Plus its free.
As for my HTPC, well I just have a hacked xbox running Xbox Media Center, connected to my network which hosts a D-Link DNS-323 network attached storage (1.5tb). Only disadvantage to that setup is that it isn't good for High Def movies, and obviously no blu-ray either. Might look at building a decent spec'd HTPC in the future, just the bootup times deter me. |
Media Portal is what I am using. It is pretty good. I use it mainly for music and divx, I havn't got the tv part worked out yet.
