Media Extenders (SageTV)

<< < (2/2)

MythTV is a very powerful and free PVR solution.  I have heard a lot of positive reviews on Mythbuntu which is merely Ubuntu with MythTV included.  As always you can try them from the live CD.  Another free option is MediaPortal, but if you want to simply share media try Orb at orb.com.  It may be audio only, but simplifymedia.com also works.

I have personal experience with SageTV, BeyondTV, Meedio, Media Portal and Vista Media Center.

If you're going to use it for TV/PVR at all, I highly recommend SageTV above all.  BeyondTV is good also, but the user base is much smaller and it is PVR-only (no video/movies/music/photos etc).  For the free alternatives, GBPVR is supposed to be good.  SageTV works on WHS, XP, Vista, Linux and Mac and has a very nice, easy-to-use HD extender as well.  Check out the SageTV forums for more information. http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/
