    Dear me the guy in that video is annoying, no surprise he's a desperate housewives fan.

    It does look cool though. I don't really get the media centre thing. do you need a lot of hardware? hardware for the remote control, hardware for controlling lights, are there cards for a PC that can give you a menu of channels from some sort of digital tv box? I'm a bit lost....

    I agree the guys voice in the video takes a bit of getting use to, but the Media Centre looks great, and the functionality is far better than Microsoft's Media Centre. I don't know a lot about Media Centre PCs. The basics are I think you need a TV tuner card. There's details about the hardware requirements: http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/What_hardware_I_will_need and set up:http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Architecture_Intro
