I have 3 dogs...NEED one REAL BAD!!!
I want THAT!
No thank. I will stick with my CableCARD Media Center PC :)
I guess that would depend if you want to use Windows Media Center or not. Currently the HD-DVR from Happauge doesn't work within Media Center.

I posted an article on my blog talking about how this compares to Media Center in my opinion.

I currently have a PS3 and Xbox 360 and I had a Wii at one point but got tired of it really quickly so I sold it for $400 and bought a PS3 (primarily for Blu-Ray). The one system that I couldn't be without right now is the 360 because of the Media Center Extender functionality. Also, most of my friends only have a 360 so I end up buying most games that are on both platforms on the 360. Xbox Live definitely beats what PS3 has to offer in online gaming if that's your thing.

The only games I have for the PS3 are Uncharted (awesome game!) and Resistance: Fall of Man. Both are just for the PS3 and are the only games I've purchased since getting my PS3 in December. It's primarily been a $400 movie player for me but since I didn't actually pay $400 for it (paid $250 for my Wii and essentially traded it for a PS3) it's not so bad.
Almost three months after this came out and still no new HD channels for us here in Topeka (except for the VERY part time Royals HD channel that doesn't even show all the Royals games that are broadcasted in HD). I've called them numerous times and at one point was told within a few week we would have them but that was shortly after I saw this announcement so obviously that guy just wanted to get me off the phone.
This would be excellent news! I was concerned about this before I ever took the plunge and spent all the money on my XPS 420 with dual CableCARD tuners but I have until at least December until my cable company switches to SDV so I was hoping something would happen along this front. Here's to hoping it works out for us Media Center aficionados!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
