Tomm Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I used http://www.team-mediaportal.com/ a while ago. I thought it was quite good - Until I tried the official MCE, that is, which is just awesome. There are others that I haven't used: http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/go/tv/features#feature_dvrhttp://www.mythtv.org/ (linux based)http://www.gbpvr.com/You can hack the remote to work with any version of windows, as I pointed out in the other thread. But if you can get hold of XP MCE, I think it's great. P.S. The Vista home versions come with MCE as standard, so if you were thinking of buying a copy, it might be worth getting Vista.

Caleb Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 second thoughts would this do the job?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm not sure. For that sort of money, it's probably a copy. In which case you might as well just download Vista from torrents or whatever, since that would be equally illegal. Have you read that link in the other thread I posted about getting the remote working with XP home? I've got XP Pro here so I can get the files and email them to you if you need them? Just tell me what files you need and your email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 What is this irbus.sys? I don't have that, where did you get it from?When you first plugged the remote in, it will have installed some (wrong) stuff. You might have to remove this in device manager.
