Hi. Has anyone got any ideas of good FREE-WARE/OPEN-SOURCE DVB-T programs that aren't MediaPortal and VLC Media Player that will run on a System with a 2.2ghz CPU (link is at http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/87/AMD_Athlon_XP_3000+.html) and a Nvidia GeForce 6200 using a Kaiser Baas TVStick?

None. Your PC isn't fast enough for H.264 decoding and your video card doesn't support H.264 hardware acceleration. *Need help configuring your Linksys ATA or IP Phones for New Zealand? Check my blog post

Well PC not fast enough, but if you can add a video card nvidia 8500gt or 9400 and above you could possible get h.264 decoding going. I had a cpu not much bigger than yours that I was using.

The Raspberry Pi's CPU is much slower than that and it can do 1080p because of its GPU.

Windows Media Center (built in to some Vista/Win7 versions) is an option with the correct video card. I put a cheap nvidia pci-e card into a similar system and it ran OK (well, it did until i hooked the xbox to it) something like the following -fanless- $60 video card is sufficient: http://pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=VGAEVG1314&name=EVGA-GeForce-GT210-1GB-DDR3-PCI-E-2.0-16X-Video-Ca (not sure if you have PCIe in your system) Need help implementing Microsoft CRM?

If you purchase an AGP h.264 card you'll be able to play freeviewHD on your PC
