Help me out here guys please.
I have an old pc (quad core amd processor and windows 7) that I currently use as a server to stream my films from and it is set up as a wireless network in my house.
I want to completely do away with wireless and connect it directly to my tv (Panasonic vierra) as I have issues with the wireless setup.
Sometimes my films will lag and even get stuck during playback because of a poor signal and I have run out of patience with it.
There are so many options for good media centers that i just dont know where to start. I am currently thinking about installing Linux and kodi as an option but have no experience with either of these.
Also I want to know if I can do all this and also use this pc as an emulator machine to play on my tv. Would this be viable or too much of a pain in the backside to setup?
What setup do you guys have at home? Any thoughts? Any good software you would recommend to get this all setup?
Thanks in advance for any guidance here...
