I read up on AVSforums how to build a HTPC. That is an excellent starting place for anyone interested in building a home theater PC. I ditched cable in the beginning of 09' and have not looked back since. Yes, there is maybe 4-5shows I miss, but for $70, they are not worth that. I use Windows 7 Media Center for recording all my shows via OTA in HD. I have been checking some shows online too; the quality is not quite there.
We need to Unionize the entire country. If we even have a fighting chance against corporate America. The sooner people realize that Unions are not as bad as the PR teams make them out to be. The sooner we can get stronger like the European Unions.
Had MS added the HD player with the Xbox 360, we would not be having this conversation. I realize the price would have been higher for the 360. Simply having a HD-DVD add-on as an option is not a good strategy.
The reason is obvious why WB went with Blue-Ray, all the PS3's out there.
I will wait till prices drop even more, it is not worth paying the higher price for players at this time.
