Please suggest an HDMI card so that using one cable I can send the audio and video to the TV.
What is the best? xbmc vs openelec vs plex. I would prefer a physical remote over wireless keyboard and mouse
Thanks

It's a clean bowled, very precise.
Do you see any problem if I do not install Windows and use xbmcbuntu instead?
I didn't find the Ubuntu driver for HDMI to USB device.
