Hi!

Yeah! Strange Digital TV standard we have here, I have to admit. Actually this is the japanese standard with some changes. The intention was to develop our own standard and force it to other south american countries, but it seems it is not gonna work as many countries down here decided to use either the ATSC or DVB standards.

I think the MythTV is what I was actually expecting.

Thanks!

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the fast reply!

To be more specific, I would like to build a Media Center that would allow me to see AVI videos, DVDs, and TV in High Definition (720p at least). I am not concerned about the capture card for now, as I live in Brazil and the digital standard for TV is quite different.

As you said there are other simple solutions for a standalone MediaCenter, could you please specify?

What if I wanted a Media Center with MediaDirectors around the house, would there be any mini ITX mobo able to do that?

Regards,
Ailton

Hi!

Is there any mini-ITX mobo I could use to build a Linux MCE? I am not thinking of a media director, but a standalone Media Center.

Thanks,
Ailton
