While I would love to find an alternative to the WMC7, I have had a hard time going through the XBMC POC attempts without having to dig through tons of threads on one issue or another for XBMC. If anyone who prefers the XBMC way would direct us to a posting that does a start to finish configuration for that to get it working I think it would be helpful. In similar threads like this I often find lots of detail from the WMC supporters on how to get things going ( use WMC, then get media browswer, then get hulu plugin etc) while WMC opponents usually say "just get XBMC" and leave it at that.I would like to see some more detail, especially since it does sound like it has some nice advantages if you know what youre doing ( Graphic accel on older hardware, Linux builds etc. )
I think it would help if the OP ( and those of us still looking for the most stable HTPC ) had some details of both of the leading options out there ( WMC and XBMC ) .
My recommendation would be something that plays netflix, hulu and maybe some other online streaming.
Supposedly the new apple TV and google TV STBs will do that in a $100 (or less) box. That's all you need.
For DVR (if you really need that besides netflix and hulu) just get your cable/sat co. box - at least your live and recorded TV will work with that.
