    This is huge!  Much bigger than HP's previous offering.  No offense to you at HP..you make an awesome Windows Home Server and touch enabled PC.

    I have a Linksys DMA2100 extender tucked behind a Toshiba LCD HDTV in the kitchen.  It would be nice to have an all-in-one integrated unit.

    That could be interesting having the screens themselves be UPnP/MS Extender. At least there wouldnt be the fan noise as from xbox.

    Did someone mention recently that there was a chipset implementation of MCE extender just about to come to market? I'm sure I read that somewhere but can't find it now. Perhaps this could be the start of a flood of enabled devices - we can but hope?

    The DVD Player/Media Center Extender will use the Intel CE3100 chip according to this article.

    Will this be the first Extender not based on a Sigma Designs Chip??

    I just skimmed the pdf and it seems to me like if they include this this chip, they will have more than enough power and hardware decoding to give us users a 360-like experience while using the Media Center. I expect we will know a lot more about the TVs at least by the time Windows 7 comes out.

    It is worth noting that this article says nothing about the box being an Extender.  I think your reading into something that isn't there.

    I'm not saying this can't be an Extender, but nowhere in that article does it say anything about it.
