Personally I am interested the most in new cable card tuners especially cost and multiple tuners such as the Cetoncorp card. I am tired of juggling multiple season pass managers. Well pretty much anything related to improving the DVR options including extenders. Will there truly be a Cable Card PC that can compete on cost with a Tivo HD, $500-550 for a lifetime Tivo versus a HTPC with dual Cable Card tuners minimum, in the near future?
Also I know some people on thegreenbutton were curious with the OEM limits if they have an actual Cable Card PC will you be allowed to legitimately upgrade tuners. Or are the limits such that you would be required to buy a new cable card certified pc every time you want to upgrade tuners.
The new "Couple" from Samsung looks interesting, I'd like some more info on that.
I would like to know when the Asus EB1012 will ship, will it be available with Linux and how much will it cost.
One model has ALREADY caught my attention, the STR-DA5500ES, the reason for this is that Sony has said in press releases that it will stream Audio, Images, AND Video over your high-speed home network! As a general rule I am not a fan of the Sony AVR's, I much prefer Integra, or Yamaha, but I LOVE where this could lead! Sony is literally the last AVR manufacturer to the game with network connectivity! Please tell me what you think, I will find a link to the article and post it as a response to this comment.
Here is a link from the Sony.co.uk which is close enough!

will the next version of WHS include Media Center functionality and tuner support?
(sorry, just had to say it)
I am interested in any new announcements from Tivo or Moxi, although it doesn't look like Moxi will be at CEDIA.
along those lines more specifically is there any word on whether any of the new UI functions tivo was focus testing will ever come to the tivo hd?
I forgot that Tivo debuted the HD XL at Cedia so perhaps we will see something new though I would have to say I would be shocked but extremely pleased at new hardware. Myabe we will see more info the Best Buy units or Directivo.
3D TV, HDMI 1.4,Wireless HD - Any product information, announcements, hands-on experiences and impressions would be appreciated.
Many thanks.....................
Can you guys please head over to the "Z-Wave Alliance" booth (1201) and get some info and shots of Vera's new native iPhone App. (Manufacture "Mi Casa Verde") They are supposed to be making some kinda press release, but we have yet to hear anything. (They also have big news about thier new Luup firmware. They are bringing together X10, Insteon, TCP/ip, and of course Z-Wave into one controller...very cool stuff!!!)
I just installed this controller and I am super stoked about the thought of a native iPhone app..... #webappsmustdie ;) Thanks in advance!
