I went to the website you gave me it only said how to set it up!
I needed a link to download the whole application (Megauplaud and rapidshare links are acceptable, but bit torrent isn't
)

Here's a snippet from the Forum Rules re Piracy ~
Quote:
Case examples regarding rule number five (5). No piracy.
Case: Pirated material, such as serial numbers and direct links to pirated, copyrighted material (including direct links to torrent files and ed2k links). PROHIBITED
Case: Posting "descrambling codes" or similar codes that allow unlicensed viewing of protected material. PROHIBITED
Case: Technical, in depth discussion about copy protection circumvention (i.e. cracking). PROHIBITED
Case: Discussion about pirated content and piracy, such as converting (downloaded) video and/or audio files to DVD/AudioCD/whatever format. PERMITTED
Case: Discussion about copy protection circumvention in general (extracting encrypted content, such as DVD movies, compact discs, copy protected console and computer software, using existing software). PERMITTED
Case: Links to sites offering possibly pirated content (including torrent files and ed2k links). PERMITTED
..so any suggestions would have to fit within the above..

I asked this a couple of months ago, I suggest you either buy windows xp media center edition or download windows 7 beta for free (which has MC in it)

How about trying XBMC ?, it's been ported to Windows (and a few other OSes) fairly recently, it's known as Atlantis (version 8.10).
It's only 82MB ~ http://xbmc.org/download and takes all of 2 minutes to install and the only thing to configure is the default region ie UK or wherever, the Weather page and an SMB network source.

Thanks!
It's really cool! I was just wondering if it can show and record live T.V via a t.v tuner card?

media center is not a software but an os. it's rubbish anyway, it's the same as any other software media center. cyberlink has one, as a matter of fact cyberlink and windows media center look almost exactly the same. but i think cyberlink's is better from experience

You need to pay money to get ciberlink's media center. I needed a Free media center.
By the way, xbmc didn't work on my pc for some mysterious reason. when I start it, it shows an error.
But thanks anyway!

christv is free basic tv tuner software. You can try the demo's of sagetv or beyondtv these are full feature PVR software with livetv and schedule recordings (better than windows media center). Mythtv is too complicated for non-tech people but it's free.
You have to "pay" for the best software but it's a one time fee and you get the tv listing guide that's updated everyday. I've used sagetv for the past 3 years (cost 79.00) It's been working non-stop 24/7 never crashes. I have 3 pci tv tuner cards (pvr-150) installed in my computer (records 3 tv shows at the same time). It's a good investment if you like to watch alot of TV.
Just make sure you have tv tuner cards with built-in "hardware mpeg encoders", otherwise even the best PVR software will have trouble recording "liveTV" smoothly.
