I'd download Movix .83 and add the dss library .rpm file so Movix can read unencrypted dvd's(u need winiso to change the .iso).
Then once you burn the .iso boot from cd and use the install.pl script to put movix on your harddrive. You can navigate your media quite easily, with no mouse. So you only need a wireless keyboard, unless you just prefer to have a mouse.
If you're computer supports booting from usb, you can do that(boot movix from usb) and save yourself the hassle of making the fat16 partition for Movix. It works just as well as booting from cd, when you want to boot windows just remove the usb jump drive and voila!
Cheers, just trying to keep it as simple as possible tho'.
My set-up works fine now as it is, wrt watching suff direct off the PC via the telly. I just gotta keep going back and forth the PC to change what I'm watching.
if it's just for changing fillums and stuff, ewe could get a bluetooth remote control thing. My brother bought one off ebay and it uses loiyke gyroscopic tilt sensor things in it to detect movement and that moves the cursor. Ewe could use it instead of a mouse or do something else.

Sorry if that's a bit technical.
That all depends on what other outputs your pc has and what inputs your tellybox has. Loiyke I've got my lcd tellybox (55":smilie4:) connected thro' hdmi and my monitor connected thro' vga (the blue port) and another telly (old style standard def one) connected thro' s-video.

When I go home, I'll take a pic of the back of my PC and post it tomorrow :smilie4:
It says hmdi on the outside of the TV. Maybe I'll look at the back of it too.
55" telly, fuck's sake :lol: when did you get that?

My brother bought it about 6 months ago then decided he wanted the 70" model. He couldn't be arsed to try and sell the 55" one so I offered him £600 for it along with his xbawx 360:smilie4:
bought it off him last month like, still owe him some of the £600 but I paid for most of it by getting monies for my 21st birthmas instead of any presents.

I've got a few spare vga cords.

I paid more than that for my telly, which is 13" smaller :emo:
Brothers with too much money >*
