As well as having lots of space, it'd be good to have lots of tuners as well. Promise.tv sounds good.
From http://www.promise.tv/>: "Promise.tv takes advantage of digital television technology to automatically record a full seven day's broadcasting across all selected TV channels. This wholesale recording means it is no longer necessary to choose programmes to watch in advance. All programmes transmitted over the last seven days are stored for viewing at any time."
Halo is worth the fuss. There's so many good things about Halo but if I was to name the best I would say it was the vehicles. When you get in a vehicle the view moves from 1st person to 3rd person and the feel of the game totally changes increasing variety and pace. Other AI players on your side can hop onto a vehicle that your piloting and fight along side you. Enemy AI is the 2nd excellent feature making combat so much fun. Each enemy offers a challenge which you have to tackle in unique ways. The storyline is week, classic sci-fi. But it is full of twists and there's enough atmosphere in the game so that the storyline is able to be quite scary in places.

If only this had a built in phone. Even if it was just VoIP software.

Perhaps Philip Greenspun's vision of the mobile phone computer is getting closer.

If this was Sony, the management would have to ritually disembowel themselves to protect their honour and prevent humiliation to their families.

I use a squeezebox with powered speakers (i.e. PC speakers). I was wondering what is wrong with powered speakers?
Do your RCA speakers need an amp? Do they need power? Whats the volume like? Can I ask what model your speakers are?
I don't really want to use an amplifier with my squeezebox. High quality sound isn't my objective so much as simplicity and portability.
Sorry for all the questions but I'm finding this discussion really useful.
