    Recommendations for wireless keyboard/mouse combo for HTPC?

    Have you tried the new version with the backlight and sensor pad? The keyboard feels better. Personally I like the trackball of the first version a little better than the sensor pad of the new version but overall I like the new version better. Backlit, RF, keyboard and mouse. Not bad for...

    STB Alternatives

    What I am saying is that the xbox 360 is probably the best extender. In fact, I think its the only extender available currently. With all that being said I still think its pretty poor as an extender outside of playing back recorded TV. You can buy some discontinued models on ebay but as they...

    New HTPC Build - Software advice please?

    The easiest solution is to not let your HTPC sleep. My i3 2100 uses about 35 watts at peak. I just leave it on all the time which cuts down on these problems. The energy savings in dollars is negligible.

    New HTPC Build - Software advice please?

    Both obviously work for HTPC. Having used both I prefer WMC for the following reasons... First WMC+MB bitstreams HD Audio which is very important for me. I want to be able to fully utilize my HTPC and AV Receiver. Second, WMC has tuner support for live TV. This is huge for many people -...
