[kwlug-disc] Dropping Bell, Phase 5

[CrankyOldBugger]

Oh, don't misunderstand me, I've looked at Plex, but I'm not a big fan of
it.  It came with my NAS box.  It doesn't play well with my firewalls, so
I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it.

I do like XBMC as well.  I particularly enjoyed the talk you gave on XBMC
back a few months ago.
