Re: SABnzbd+, I wonder if he's tried Sickbeard. Works well to avoid the situation where you'd end up with dupes.

I was looking at it just recently - it looks promising. Haven't had a chance to try it, yet.

http://sickbeard.com/

Seriously try it out, it might require some time to get it setup in the way that you want, but combined with XBMC it is golden

I actually have SABnzbd running on my low-power NAS, while ~XBMC is running on a dedicated machine with dedicated GPU. I find it advantageous to run the lower power NAS 24/7 and only crank up the graphics-heavy front-end when something needs to be displayed.

I tried it a few months back, I didn't end up using it. I felt like it was unnecessary, I rather focus on one app than two. I stuck with sabnzbd+ & nzbs.org, after newzbin was taken over.

SABnzbd + SickBeard + CouchPotato (couchpotatoapp.com) == what cable should've been years ago.

Sickbeard is indeed fantastic, and it's got quite a bit more polished in recent builds!

Also check out nzbmatrix as a NZB source, it's done me quite well.

Finally, SuperNews is a Giganews reseller that is a bit cheaper if you're looking to save money (though with all that Apple gear it's unlikely).

Also check out the SABconnect++ Chrome Extension.

If you're on a budget, Astraweb are nearly as good as GigaNews, but way cheaper, particularly with this discount: http://www.news.astraweb.com/specials/kleverig-11.multicards...
