While we at OSNews often talk about desktops, laptops, and netbooks, there is another "form factor" which is making inroads into various households: the home theatre PC, or HTPC. There are a lot of software packages out there that will aid in turning a computer into an HTPC, and since I've been testing three of them extensively over the past months, I figured we'd talk about what you use.

I also spent many hours researching this topic a while back, until one day I just went "screw this", popped down to the local electronics store and picked up a popcorn hour and a 500GB hard drive. And I have to say I'm very happy. Simple, small, easy to use and not too ugly (the last one can be important if you happen to live with your girlfriend). Sure it's not as advanced as some of the other HTPC solutions, but at the end of the day it does everything I want it to do and it just works without any needless hacking.
