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.

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:

(not sure if you have PCIe in your system)
