Users / Re: Users from sweden - Are there any?

I have a feeling that the bar representing Stockholm-based LinuxMCE searches on Google could be just me. 

It seems that there are a number of Swedes using LinuxMCE for their home theatre. I've seen some references to it on e.g. www.minhembio.com.) Using LMCE for control and automation seem to be lagging behind (not very surprisingly).

We're moving to a new house soon myself (in Strängnäs), so I'm looking into what can be done with a limited budget. I haven't read too much about PCLbus, so that's on my list now. Planning is half the fun...

Cheers,

Well, I'm half. That is I'm from Sweden, but I have not yet installed LMCE.
So I'd also be interested in hearing from others what works and what doesn't work.

Especially, I'd like to know more about:
- Program guides (EPG) for TV (works with recordings etc)
- Interfacing to power control (lights, pumps etc) - inexpensive solutions that actually work

(I'm an experienced Linux user/admin but I've away from Linux for a couple of years, so I'm really excited to see what has happened in the meantime.)
