    A few questions

    Noobie question: what's MCE? The other items all seem like software (girder? Powerstrip?). I use my computer for everything, including web surfing and work. I don't feel comfortable using my tv for those things. Thanks again everyone! Looks like I need to explore some automation...

    A few questions

    I would essentially need the remote to control (1) computer settings such as display settings and sound output, (2) computer software: Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra 8, and (3) my TV. My setup is as follows PC < DVI < MONITOR (with sound from logitech speakers) PC < HDMI < LCD TV (with sound...

    A few questions

    Thank you to both. I run Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra 8 for my blu-rays and DVD. I prefer to port sound through my LCD TV speakers because, although I own pretty good PC speakers (Logitech z-2300), they are positioned for awkward listening when I'm using my TV. Does the logitech harmony allow...

    A few questions

    Ripskin, is there a remote that would allow me to set a macro for my computer and TV? Or do remotes work just with components? I am somewhat light on components -- all I have is a cable box -- the intention was for the computer to handle the rest. If I can use the remote in conjunction with...

    Using an HTPC

    I recently built just a plain old computer (specs below) with a blu-ray drive. I have my 24" monitor (245bw) and a 40" samsung (lnt-4065) lcd in the same room. The tv is connected via a 25ft HDMI cable, and the monitor via a regular dvi cable. When connected to my PC, I use a set of Logitech...

    Official Samsung 245BW Discussion Thread

    Hey all, I just purchased this monitor and I'm trying to take everyone's suggestions for settings. It seems everyone swears by Magictune software. I tried to download the copy on the disk that comes with the monitor, and that didn't work because I am running Vista 64bit. I tried to download...

    HDMI audio pass-through on HD 4870?

    I had the same issue and, thanks to this thread, was able to get sound over my LCD TV speakers. The big a-ha! for me was that I needed to set HDMI audio as the output on my PC. This should hold me over until I buckle down and by an A/V Receiver and speakers. =) Two questions remains: (1)...
