But for me, the XBMC option was the best way. Now, when I get an HD TV, have the money for a high power ground up WHS PVR solution.then maybe.maybe I'd go the direction of SageTV or TVerstiy. I have the same set up installed on a buddy's WHS, his 60 inch plasma, who has a DishNetwork HD PVR and he could not be happyer. I also have this piped into my component and optical hookups on my AV reciever. This is because the Xboxes have the codecs built into the softmod, so the xbox does all the work! For me, this is the best solution to simply serve those types of vid files, pictures and music.

I can even serve a movie to both Xboxes simultaniously with no lag.

The WHS simply serves the files as usual with no additional software and no tax on the system. It works much like a Dlink Media Media Player, except a lot more codecs are built into it than the Dlink. For me the perfect solution was a pair of used first gen Xboxes running the XBMC soft mod. I really wanted a place to store and then serve divx and xvid avi files, dvd ISO's, photos and music to my TVs that would not reqire a third party software package to "transcode" the content and further tax my WHS. I currently do not require HD content and I have a capable cable PVR that works fine (and use infrequently). For me, after crunching the numbers and formats, it was not worth the expense for the added benefit of the PVR. It would be the perfect integration of WHS and WMCenter. It is a great solution if you are willing to pay for it and get it to work. Then there was the issue of the Hauppauge tuner being able to decode my cable company's digital channels. The PVR function would bring it all together, but it would require an entire rebuild of my current WHS and add considerable expense.

The other thing was that I'd have to by PVR TV tuners (Hauppauge) and install them into WHS to record my cable TV programming and then serve all this contentent to the TV. If you are a fan of Divx or Xvid or DVD ISO files, these software/hardware solutions have to transcode them as well. Another problem was the whole format issue. So running that software really lagged the machine for other users on the network because those "software" solutions have to transcode the video files before serving them directly to the TV or the Dlink.

I have some restrictions that limit me with those "software" solutions, i.e. I kicked around and tested SageTV, TVersity, Dlink Media Player and some other software/hardware options to find the best solution to get video/music content from WHS to my TV's in the house. And I by no means think my way is the only solution for all as stated below. I'll chime in on this, but I must state that I'm not currently interested in recording or serving HD content yet as I don't have an HD TV.

Now my question is whether anyone on this forum has explored this further? I think integrating the video streaming capability of the WHS with other components and features (like HD media streaming) will make the WHS not just another high tech toy for geeks, but a functional necessary utility for the average family home. Hopefully BTV will create a product to interface with the WHS as well. Sage enables the WHS to stream media content to other computers and TVs on the home network. My understanding is that the latest is Sage TV.

While many aspects of the WHS are still in development, some of PVR vendors have developed software to work with the WHS.

Now, as we all know Microsoft has recently released a cut-down version of its 2003 Server operating system called "Windows Home Server (WHS)." That operating system can be run from a "spare" PC on the home network or from a dedicated box like the HP Mediasmart Home Server. Once that content is captured and recorded it then can be stored either locally on the recording machine or on the network to a NAS or server. That content can be captured and processed through the use of various PVR and software vendors (like Beyond TV, SAGE, etc.). HDHomeRun (SiliconDust) provides a way to get HD content from various sources to the PC, as it is a digital high definition twin tuner that runs on a home network.
