Default Media Portal

This is the best Media Center software I have found, best of all it's free. Here are just a handful of the features:

Automatically mounts iso files in Daemon Tools
Checks the weather
Works with almost any remote you have
Works with most TV tuners (Except a fair amount of ATI)
Can change skins
Can add plugins (like tetris)
Can run on Windows XP Home
Does time shifting
Can control multiple TV cards so you can record and watch seperate channels, as well as record multiple channels
Timer for recording

The program is not perfect, some things do not work well but it is getting there and in my opinion it's better the Windows Media Center.

Sorry, I mean my computer in my stereo stand, it does not have a monitor, etc. just uses the TV. If setup properly you rarely need to use a keyboard or a mouse.
