Thanks schafer, jddamron for your reply s given me some thing to think about at this time since I dont own this property im living in I can not use linux MCE to its full potential. On the other hand I am looking for a reliable AV streamer. So will look into further, once again thanks

Stumbled across Linux MCE by accident on youtube and would like to know if its really for me. Like every one else I have loads of digital content stored on USB drives and main pc. At the moment I use a buffulao networked dvd player for the main living room and a laptop with external drives in the bedroom.

My main PC is being upgraded to a dedicated DAW so will only have the laptop soultion left, I will be conneting the networked dvd player to the laptop but have to admit it sturggles to play some file types. The laptop is running vista and will freqently crash's, i use it with a wireless mouse and remote.

What I would like to do is load Linux MCE on the laptop and use it as a core/md just to view digital content, I have no interest in using PVR functions as I have a Virgin + box full of content I have recoreded and not watched infact all tv programs im interested in I down load.

I will require another md in the living room connected to main TV, can this be another laptop and will I require another remote ?
