Here is a picture of my house setup[1]

Currently running one Core/Hybrid just for testing purposses, on Philips 20" connected with VGA. After installing with no problems, i had random crashes with my Core. After messing with xorg.conf (and i am a complete Linux newbie, learned a lot surfing this wiki) and changing the driver used for VGA, crashes seemed to disapper. Autodetection of PVR-150MCE didnt work so a did a manual install, scanned for channels and all seems to work for now. Didnt bother with scheduling and recording, just watched Live TV and everything seemd to work fine.

Orbiters and Media Directors

I am using laptop Compaq Presario 900EA (got it for 50$, used, battery dead, but it does its job:) ) as a Media Director in a living room, with UI1, using PXE boot. Couldnt find option on LinuxMCEDVD to install as media director only, so i went for PXE boot. I rarely turn of this MD so i dont mind booting it for like 5 mins.

Second orbiter is Nokia N95, using JAVAMO, over Bluetooth. Its kinda slow, but it does its job. Instalation was simple, had to change one file with a new one and after it all worked.

I am in a process of getting a Nokia 770 tablet, when i get iti l test tanwrite a feedback.
