How I use my MVP

[SolarCurve]

I just thought I would drop a note to everyone, but instead of giving a problem, I would show how I am using my setup.

I have ripped about 60 or so DVD's into MPEG and ripped a few to Divx (still having problems here) but I have an MVP upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs is on Wireless G with no problems there. I have a ton of movies and TV shows from bit torrents and downloads as well.

Most of the movies I have ripped are for my 2 year old daughter. I don't want to have to shuffle around tons of DVD's so she can watch Elmo or whatever she is in the mood for. I can store them away safe and play everything from wherever on the server. (95% of my gb-pvr use is here) I can and regularly run a movie on both MVP's at the same time with no problem.

I don't have much of a need for the PC version of the application except to check local weather in a snap or fire up DVD2MPEG to rip in another DVD.

We also enjoy listening to music from all over the house without burning CD's. We have quite a few music video's as well.

I have used the Theatre plug-in twice with friends over so we could figure out where we wanted to go and what to see. I expect to need it a few more times in the future.

I just recently purchased a PVR150 from Hauppauge, but I am having hell getting it to work right. I have honestly been too busy to dig into it very well. I expect to get it working better pretty soon once I get back from vacation.
