    I'm just not getting this...Someone explain this for the millionth time please

    what do people think of this model, it appears like its a new model for the sr606 but im not sure, noone seems to talk about this, but at 399 it seems like it has most of the higher end feature set at not a huge price.

    Confused about HTPCs, and If I Even Need One

    Yeah an HTPC is really up to what you also plan on doing in the future. for example if you plan on getting into blu-ray etc, or some of the other functions, then an HTPC may not be a bad investment if you have the knowhow. I dont know personally i was going to get a PS3 and then when i did...

    Media Browser 2.1 is now released

    ack i hadnt been keeping up with this, not sure im willing to pay for a plug in to a program i already paid for. i mean if its cheap, like $20 for a year then maybe. but i would be much less forgiving of problems and bugs once i paid money for it. i understand the developers wanting to get paid...
