ORB is much easier to install. I stream all media from my home server to laptop and PC at home, even the kids Wii. The only issue I have is the lack of an EPG for Australia, so scheduled recording is a pain, WebGuide was excellent in this regard. I moved to ORB after trying out WebGuide.

And I'm afraid I messed up the "subscribe to new comments" and lost people subscribing to old posts a while ago. So unfortunately I don't think this is the right place to get an answer. :-( Just wanted to let you know. Personally I’m not running Windows on my HTPC anymore, so I don’t know.

You log on to myorb.com and that site will know your IP etc... In other words, you don't need DynDNS. The last time I used ORB the application took care of this.

I created a domain on dyndns. I forward the ports on the router. so when i go to http://:port i get nothing. I'm not really sure what else I'm missing.. cause I can't seem to access myOrb from outside of my network. Can someone please post a link on instructions or let me know how to do this thanks . Hi

Every time I used it it would overclock my PC and make it overheat. My cpu was running at 100% usage until I shut down orb. When I used to use the older version of orb and it worked fine without overheating. Why did they have to change it. I loved using orb but not anymore. I uninstalled it and and bought a sony location free audio video streamer device. It works very good and doesn't overheat my pc. I can even contol my cable box. Has anyone else had problems with the new orb when conpaired with the older first 1.0 version? I installed orb 3 times succesfully. Every time I used it it would overclock my PC and make it overheat.

It should be possible to get MCE up and running with that solution, but SageTV also seems like an interesting solution for that kind of setup. I'm very interested to hear more about how your experiment works out! I am also considering the FireDTV solution for DVB-C.

(I stopped poking around with xmltv files after upgrading to Orb 2.0) Just ordered a home theater PC with two DVB-C receivers (FireDTV). The aim is to get the TV guide from the DVB signal and feed it into Orb. Microsoft's Media Center Edition might do the trick and if not, I'll try MediaPortal. Does any of you guys have experience with this? I’m going to take a completely different approach now.
