Users / LinuxMCE best hardware suggestion
« on: March 01, 2010, 06:37:26 pm »
Hello, is there a suggested/best hardware list for a LinuxMCE machine? I want to initially build a Hybrid and 1 really small, cheap and elegant Media Director to drive a late model 1080p TV. Is there a best in class list of motherboard and other standard parts with high compatibility list somewhere? I want the Hybrid to be stable and fast, and the Media Director to be as cheap as possible. Does it even need to have a harddrive?

Thanks for any advice or direction.

Users / some basic questions: Home Automation and HDTV
« on: March 01, 2010, 06:56:53 am »
I'm researching systems for handling home automation and of course came upon LinuxMCE.

I see in the wiki that Insteon support is "currently underway". Has that been updated any? Would there be any current limitations? I'm planning to do some pretty broad automation and I also want to include voice activated control as well as utilize voice response like what MisterHouse describes.

With further reading, I see that HDTV support is pretty broad regarding hardware, so I assume that's pretty good now. I tried Myth a few years ago and it just didn't seem ready.

Thanks for any input.
