Got my sons rig out of the way now it's dads turn.
This is going to be our netflix / downloaded movie player. I am also going to add a tuner card for a DVR and get rid of my cable boxes.
I also want it to game as well as an xBox one and PS4.
I am unsure what software is best to library all the downloaded movies. I have close to 1,000 titles.
Also what operating system is best. I may and the MCE LCD module and I want a remote.
Any advise from the pros here?
