I have a HTPC running win 7, using windows media center with media browser plugin.

I ripped my blu ray/dvd collection (also re-encoded them all to x264 to save about 50% of the disk space with no noticable quality loss) and now i can just go thru my movie database on the computer without having to mess with disks when i want to watch something. Everything is organized with media browser,cover art,info about the movie etc is automatically downloaded for me.

I just have it in my living room hooked up to my big screen,but im in the process of converting my bonus room into a home theatre room and will either move it there or build another.

Can also use it to to record/pause TV, i have a dual digital/analog tuner but dont use it much.

Can also surf the web on your tv play pc games etc.
