• HTPC Help?
    0 replies, posted
I need some help getting an HTPC for my dad. I recently got him a WD TV and a WD TV live, they work pretty well but all the crap he has on his external drive and the speed he wants from the hardware doesn't match. He wants to be able to scroll through his 2 TB worth of music and movies flawlessly while also being able to watch everything. I think my best option is to build an HTPC. From what I've read they run with XMBC and Boxee, I read about XMBC and it seems as though it doesn't run avi even though I've seen some forums mentioning it does. So basically if I get an HTPC and put either Boxee or XMBC are they able to run every file, including avi? Also, can you use a remote? Grabbed these parts from another site.
