ok does the remote need any extra driver software for ubuntu or windows xp ?? if yes can you put the link here as well thanks ... and i felt like buy 2 remotes

well i'm not too sure about ubuntu or XP. I'm using Win 7 and the remote works right out the box

Here's some tutorial on how to get it done for Windows XP : LINK

Hope this helps!

I prefer Ubuntu cos it probably doesn't need much restarting ... but the movie is a little bit choppy and jagging

Maybe the right codec will solve your problem?

thanx for sharing

why should astro be bankrupt? even Windows Media Center can stream astro as live tv using a TV tuner connected to the astro decoder

I thought u meant if the program can watch astro without the decoder.

if it can do that, who wanna pay for astro anymore?

well Live TV mean when using TV card when watch astro w/o decoder that probably streaming TV which not what I'm looking for

Hmm..don't really get what you mean there..but i think you might wanna look into something else but not XBMC.

i'm looking for a good durable remote thats easy to setup with winXP pro + xbmc.. Any recommends?

Hi there,

Notice about the XBMC, my question are:-

1) Do this media support subtitle?
2) Switch language?
3) Is it similar to media player called MPCStar?
4) File type that support?


Thanks in advance...

Already posted 2 or 3 times regarding this issue on the 1st page.

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) No. Much better than that.
4) File type support depends on your codec.

refer to this http://www.terencey.net/blog/?p=65 you get what i mean

Wow that was some really old news..prob 5 years back huh..

I'm sure XBMC if not for that purpose..it's for managing your current movies / music / tvshow.

If you're looking for the function in your post above, you might wanna stick to Windows Media 2005 like that they say.

If you wanna manage your current movies / tvshow, then use XBMC.

can nettops (eg zino hd/aspire revo/etc..) handle xbmc while downloading torrents?

Thanks for sharing bro....

Not really sure about that. Why don't you find out by downloading XBMC?

Hope you like it!

Actually you can use XBMC for Live TV but.. only on Linux platform for the moment because you'll have to do a little modification to XBMC and recompile the program back before you can use it. Here is the link for the discussion on how to do it in the official forum.

You can also try Media Portal which is another free media center and I think they do have support for Live TV out of the box.

the color and sound is not so nice if compared to klite ?
any fix/tips for that ?

you mean klite codec? i'm really confuse here..perhaps you can show us some screenshots of your comparison?
