Direct TV has a service for in your car. The equipment costs more, but the monthly service charge is next to nothing (assuming you have Direct TV at home).

They also have that SatGo thing. It only costs $500 and it's like a portable player.

But it isn't 120 hertz refress so it won't support NVIDIA 3D VISION.

Oh you forgot the best part. To truely watch the tv the girl has to get in the bed... Mom must want her son to be a player.

PS3 has worked great for me. I would buy another one.

I second that Boo

Yeah other than you already have coax cable probably going to most rooms in your house (and coax is cheap too). I wired my house with cat 5 and it's a pain in the butt. This is a good idea. I might use it to expand the network to other areas.

Yeah MaximumPC corrected their article

"According to DrFlick, the next version of the ATI Digital Cable Tuners -- the same one that is supposed to reduce the DRM -- will enable support for the Tuning Adapter (all though he actually called them by their old name, "Tuning Resolver") in Windows 7 Media Center. "

Did you miss type here? Sounds like ATI is making a new version of the cable tuner. Or did you mean the new version of media center will support the current ati tuner?

CableCard is cool, but it's already being phased out with new cable ideas. But my question is will the Niveus play nice with "my movies" that I have already set up on an HP ex475? I could build something but in pricing your opition it's not bad. A good self built htcp is going to run around $800. Your $1400, but you do have some other add ins. So if I buy a zone will it work my movies, or do I have to change things?

Niveus even says it recommends the HP Smart Media server to help hold additional storage. I wounder how nice it would play with my movies software running on the hp server or if you would need to load up something from Niveus.
