Looking for a Media Center PC-like Skin?

MyHTPC

Free-ware in active development
Has a front-end similar to the HP MediaCenter Pc's...
It progressing nicely and is really simple to use.
It's alot more than a skin but it simplifys HTPC for all family members.

The price is right as they always say. I'm watching this one closely. It looks like a winner of a front-end for a media pc one day if I ever get around to something like that...

The latest release supports XMLTV which is the foundation for PVR type stuff.

and includes a setup wizard!


This is really worth checking out. Did I mention it's free!

:T it's the HTPC app of the day
