Make a media center with XBMC

Make a media center with XBMC

Today’s download of the day, XBMC Media Center, is a free and open source solution for landing swank media center functionality on nearly any operating system. This cross platform-compatible product brings a smörgåsbord of media reading and playing functionality to any device destined for media center superstardom.

If you’ve been looking for a great way to get your feet wet in a dedicated media center, few options do the job with the robust simplicity of XBMC. It really is worth a look.

    However due to it's lack of TV tuner support, it's hard for them to be a complete media center solution.

    If you love the idea and look of XBMC but want TV tuner support, look into MediaPortal. Its more-or-less a XBMC clone but with more features including tivo-like functionality :)

    cheers
