I will be rebuilding my HTPC soon, so here are few notes.
Here is my current HTPC: http://hobring.esero.net/htpc.htm
Firstly, i got a new TV - Panasonic 42" LCD TV TX-L42E30E. Thanks to VIERA web services, this TV have build in weather, YouTube, MyTrailers, etc..., so there is no need to use similar plugins in HTPC anylonger.
Connection HTPC (ATI 6450) <-> TV - HDMI + external stereo speekers.
I will use TV only when LAV audio decoder support downmix to stereo.
HTPC will be Win7 x86 and NPVR based, SAF6 as a complex codec solution.
+AnyDVD
+MCE standy tool
+DaemonToolsLite
+Taskbar Eliminator
I will be using it to play games too, should be working like gaming console - just connect kyapad and play!
No mouse and keyboard connected.
So, the update is planed to 3 steps:
1) - Repllace WinTV-1300 by USB DVB-t tuner - Done!, using EVOLVE MARS USB now, it seems to be workin great (WinTV-1300 had a problems...).
2) - Replace hardware by AMD APU A8-3800 + 4GB RAM - waiting, A8-3800 not available at shop now...
3) - Reinstall whole HTPC with Win7 x86 OS - this will be most time eating task...
More info will be added...
