This for me is still the BIGGY. Decent TV out from a PC is just not
possibl=
e
and add to that it also means whole distro just cant be done cheaply or
efectively.

The xbox is still the simplest low cost solution, but I still don=92t like
=
the
way it handles music and playlists...... Well it doesn=92t even have a
'playing now' or 'add to playlist' function for music and browsing your
music collections by folders is a major pita.

Many thanks,
