I need an HTPC building FAQ

[Horsepower]

I'm having some minor issues in geting this computer set up to just the way I think a a DVR/media center PC should be. One of the things I need pointers on is the video card configuration. I have an nVidia 6800 and am having a tough time tweaking the settings, especially getting rid of the windows title bar. I cannot get rid of this thing when playing live tv or recorded shows.

If you have some tips or links to the setup of software for HTPC's I would appreciate a link. Thanks.

I would just start in the Wiki itself: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReadMeFirst

You're problem with the titlebar... are you running gbpvr in windowmode? Just let it run fullscreen and the Titlebar is gone away. That's the way of a "typical" MediaCenter.

BTW, window mode vs. full screen toggle is in the "Config" application on the first tab.
