It allows you to listen to your favorite music &amp; radio, watch your video's and DVD's, view, schedule and record live TV and much more. You get Media Portal for free/nothing/nada/noppes and best of all it is opensource. This means anyone can help developing Media Portal or tweak it for their own needs!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/OOmediasoft.jpg" /><br /><br />This new media center software has got an impressive <a href="http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/features.html">feature list</a> as e.g., support for plug-ins, skinnable interface, RSS newsreader, and weather! :cool:<br /><br />Be aware that this is version 0.1 which means that it is still in beta and maybe buggy. For an open source software in beta, the <a href="http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/requirements.html">list of requirements</a> is quite long. 8O However, it seems my old analog TV tuner card should be supported which means that I will try this out maybe later today. ;)

Wow, open source goodness. Thanks for this post. I'll keep an eye on this for future updates, as I plan to build a media pc in the coming year.
