Nicely done! I like how the first post in this thread from a few years back is "just" a tv and an HTPC, and now your entire house is networked up.

Seriously, that demo was awesome! Online play with 4 levels! I played it a ton.

I believe you'll have to get into either cablecards or the Hauppauge hd pvr if you want the digital HD channels due to encryption.

I am using the KWORLD UB435-Q USB tuner with this Monoprice HD antenna. It works great with Windows 7 media center for recording. You don't need to install the KWorld recording software but you will need the drivers from the website.

Yup, HDMI can give you the 768 resolutions. This usually only works coming from computers. Most DVD players & blu-ray players only use the standard 720/1080 resolutions via HDMI or component.

Awesome setup! I bet you get some nice amazed looks when people see that screen drop down for the first time!

A lot of the value of ODST comes from whether or not you bought the Halo 3 map packs. I haven't purchased any of them (I only have the maps that eventually became free), so ODST is a pretty great deal for me. But I do understand the die-hards who have all the maps and their complaints.

Look for a setting somewhere about Automotion Plus, and turn it to a lower level or off completely.
