I just finished building an HTPC for my mom and she lives a couple hours away so I want to be certain everything will work for her. Which pack(s) would you recommend if any? The tuner in it is just a HVR 1250, other than that it is going to typically just be a DVD player or streaming netflix/hulu etc. For those functions I assume she won't need anything, but I'm not sure how adventurous she'll get, say she decided to DL something from a torrent or something, would that still work with the basic w7 MC codecs?
I am pretty jealous of the setup, going to have to build 1 for myself. It's in the Antec ISK 300-65 with a 30GB SSD(I donated that since I upgraded my PC to a 96GB) boot drive and 500GB laptop drive for storage for ripping dvd's DL's etc. 4GB (2x2gb) crusial 1066, and a samsung dvd burner on a sapphire E350 board. Anyway, I installed all possible windows updates, installed security essentials, and adobe. Can you think of anything else she might need? I want to avoid the phone calls if at all possible
