A Freevo system

A Freevo system can be custom built however you like it, you can choose to include or exclude Television features for instance, or you can control freevo with a keyboard instead of a remote. With Freevo choice is the most important factor, the developers want the users to have the choice to utilise Freevo in their way and incourage them to contribute to the project. As a community Freevo is diverse, with many different configurations and many contributors.
