Greetings,
I have registered!
This is my first post...I have been lurking around here for almost a year now as I studied this HTPC design/concept.
It has been an exciting challenge and I want to thank everyone in this community for their patience and helpful attitudes toward others and their generosity and time to help others in this hobby.
There is a wealth of information here and I am very respectful of the moderators of the forum and developers of the GBPVR software.
I havenât tried other programs but instead settled on GBPVR early in the process based primarily on you guys.
As stated ...this is my first HTPC attempt. After almost a year of study and four months of actively searching, learning and buying/assembling gear/components...I put it all together in the final assembly last night.
I only have one immediate question/problem and that is posted in a separate topic "avermedia m150 appropriate driver".
Aside from that...everything is up and running without a hitch so far.
I still have a lot of work to do however.....now the tweaking begins. And I expect at least several weeks/months in just tweaking the registry and individual components, drivers, applications, patches, software etc....
I have yet to connect to my Toshiba HDTV RPTV display...I am using a small test TV on the bench for now in hopes to get most everything stable, primary PC talking to the HTPC via wireless and everything playing nice before moving the HTPC box into the theater room
I know I have a lot to learn...and at the expense of being a nuisance...I will probably have to ask a lot of questions and plea for experienced guidance.
I hope that I can be a valuable addition to this brain trust and offer my limited (but growing) experience to everyone here.
Thanks for everything in advance.
