Hello all,
This will be my first HTPC build and I was hoping to get some insight from the very knowledge folks here.
What I want this HTPC to do at first:
- Browse and play music from my existing music collection (mostly WAV, some MP3 and FLAC) already established an a drive accessible via the network
- Replace my current Verizon FIOS High Definition DVR and instead use my HTPC to receive and record shows on all subscribed Verizon FIOS channels (Discovery, Travel, Showtime/HBO, Sprout, Cartoon Network, Globo, etc...)
- Hulu/NetFlix/Pandora, etc...
- Use a Logitech Harmony remote to control it all

JRiver Media Center software http://www.jriver.com/
Any glaring omissions? Does it appear that this setup will at a minimum provide the functionality I am looking for.
I would be using the Optical out to my AVR for audio and the DVI out to my TV for video.
Thank you for any and all observations of this initial setup.
Thanks,
