SergioLopes Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Here's mine... But still searching for the perfect media center.... Currently i have a xbox with XBMC, but the lack of hd support drives me crazy. I have a macbook connected to my 40'' tv for the HD content via LAN (3TB windows home server machine)... (VLC p subtitles suck on mac os x) Guess i'll buy one of those HP Slimline for hd...

roadgeek9 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Ignore the above post, I got some better pictures of the living room setup... That's our 42" Toshiba HDTV ("Romeo and Juliet" (1996) was on MOJO HD) Our Motorola DCT6416 HD Cable Box/DVR (provided by COX cable), AMW (no name) DVD player, and SONY Surround Sound System. Our lovely cable setup (we have 2 cable lines, so if we are recording 2 things (our DVR can record 2 things at once) and want to watch something else, we can watch the 3rd program on the TV's built-in tuner).
