The best FREE alternatives to Windows Media Center


MediaPortal (Windows) is free open source media center PC application.

MediaPortal turns your PC and TV into a very advanced home media center. The software allows you to listen to your favorite music and radio stations; watch and store your videos and DVDs; view, schedule (electronic program guide available) and record live TV as a digital video recorder; view local weather; and much, much more.

MediaPortal features much of the functionality of a regular Media Center, but as an open source project, it is a lot more customizable than the regular Windows MCE and you can tweak it for your own needs with lots of innovative plug-ins from a large community.
