Richard, D'Angelo is dead, he don't need no boxes!

Yes! I'll take mma in HD, especially on CBS. Comcast in my area doesn't get UFC PPV in HD. The WEC on VersusHD makes UFC PPV look like crap.

We(media center users) are used to this type of crap. It shouldn't surprise us. It's a great product but everything is so dependent on outside(of MS) forces that we can never get solid dates or solid product announcements ever!

When you hear a rumor about Media Center don't ever expect it to come to fruition. It's like a string of broken promises from your favorite politician.

That being said, I'll stick with media center as there is nothing that can touch it's functionality.

UFC 104 - Ben Rothwell gets to be knocked out by Cain Velasquez and stick around for Machida vs. Shogun. See Karate dominate the light heavyweight division!

Megan Fox looks good even in a cg pre-vis breakdown.

Ben is THE SOURCE for all relevant media center news.
I can't believe I'm actually thinking about paying for digital cable after all the news that came from CEDIA. It looks like Ceton has a great product based on what I've seen and this firmware update along with the OEM PC requirement lifted actually make a DCT a worthwhile product. It only took two years but such is life when dealing with cablelabs.

a 25 minute presentation... I feel like an unfulfilled housewife.

This is ridiculous but par for the course. The biggest problem I've seen with Media Center for 2 years now is getting HD channels. Sure there's cablecard but an OEM PC and a $300 tuner... come on? What makes this so frustrating is that the technology exists to do what we all want but a combination of consortiums, partners and DRM feel the need to screw us. I'm at a point now where I think I will implement Ben's RSS torrent download solution for TV shows.
There better be something coming soon to get HD into MC or the community will soon be a small hut village of green buttons.
