BY RUNNING OSX86 ON MY PC ELIMINATE ALL ASPECTS OF IT BEING A MEDIA CENTER PC???


ALMOST FINISHING DOWNLOADING, SO I NEED AN ANSWER ASAP!

Please turn off caps lock, it get on the nerves of all the forum users.
I'd say no but depends on what you want from a media center.

yess.. no tv card are suported bij osx on intel..

osx doesn't have mce features by it self..

and that's a shame

Oneyaself, although I consider your avatar to be a bit sexist, this is actually a damn fine babe with an ass to die for. Yummy!

Well, you don't have to make OS X your main OS, if that's your point.

actually happened to me...
i installed osx86 and after mce 2005
The rusult was that all mce specific apps were nowhere to find...
but the core xp actually worked better !!

excuse my english.. good luck to all

Yeah, I myself have an XP MCE 2005 and OS X x86 set up. It's brilliant, MCE, i love the media center, (although i don't have a TV, but 3,000+pictures and 1,800+songs).

look here

mce a la osx

Install Linux & MythTV as dual boot with OSX, you don't need MC from M$:

It doesn't do TV dude. Mac is way behind as far as being a media center is concerned.

Front Row is more... limited.

Yeah, Frontrow doesnt have dvr or tv (or pvr as some call it on mce), but that doesnt bother me much considering that a vcr and a good ol' flat screen tv works just as well, at least for me.

what about this?

iTheater

if and when they release it...we can see how well it works i guess...

Has anyone tested out the Hauppage - myTV.PVR
