Missing Remote has a great article on choosing
your TV source for an HTPC. The
article covers everything from CableCARD, OTA HDTV, analog cable, and satellite.
Hacking Netflix has a good roundup for the Netflix and
LG’s announcement of a Netflix STB.
Nice, but the last thing I want is another STB. I also doubt that it can be done for a
reasonable price. Good news is though;
Red Hastings said “We want to be embedded in high-def DVD players, Internet
games, dedicated set-top boxes, a wide range of options, not all instantly…” That would go good with Media Center and/or
the Xbox 360 concepts that I’ve talked
about briefly in
the past.
I’ve spent a few minutes updating my Vista
CableCARD FAQ, so if you are interested in purchasing a CableCARD PC I’d
highly suggest reading over some of the points beforehand.
