MediaPortal

For Windows users who want a free alternative to Tivo, Microsoft's Windows Media Center Edition, or MythTV (which is free, but doesn't run on Windows), there's MediaPortal, an open source media center which runs on Windows. To run MediaPortal you'll need Windows XP SP2, a reasonably fast computer, and, if you want to be able to record and pause TV, a compatible TV tuner card. If MediaPortal works half as well as it looks, then it's bound to please.
