I've been reading through this and am trying to plan the next additions to my system... it sounds like Elk M1G for security/HA, Homeseer for control of it, which leaves the HTPC/PVR scenario.
I have two Tivo's currently, but would like to integrate a PC, possibly with PVR (I have another cable box, happens to be HD but I'm not sure if you can record anything but OTA on a PC based PVR for HD.) Music with album covers, ripped DVD's, PVR (as noted above) and the like. And of course to be able to bring up a browser on the big screen...
What is the recommendation on this kind of scenario, it seems like some use MCE, meedio seems interesting, but there are a bunch of others too?
Not to start a war, but what is considered 'the best' right now?
