That’s when I found Plex it has a free (Ubuntu, Windows & MAC) server platform and free Windows client platform. Then I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Tab and found XBMC support not having an Android client. XBMC is great – it support automatic downloading of movies & series descriptions – I have used it for nearly 2 years. I grew my collection of movies and MythTV’s support was lacking in that respect so I switched to XBMC.
Together with an IR remote it can switch channels and records shows, movies or series on your PC – you simply choose what to download through the scheduler. It supports ad skipping & automatically downloads DSTV program schedules. Over the years I have used a variety of Media Center software – it started out with MythTV – which I used to record television programs from DSTV. Instead its about a fantastic software package called Plex Media Center.
