MLS Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 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.

DrKaufman Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 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.
