    HTPC freezes upon resume from remote

    I used to have similar problems with an older HP MCE IR receiver. Got rid of the IR Receiver and got this one instead..http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-MCE-Remote-Control-USB-IR-Receiver-win7-Vista-/220937786495. This was back in Jan 2011. I've had zero problems since then.

    Is Verizon Samsung GS3 unlocked?

    The Samsung GSIII is a world phone and it is unlocked. I am travelling to Asia this week and after speaking to a Verizon rep, I was told that all I had to do was to put a SIM card to make the phone work on the GSM networks in Asia.

    Remote Potato --- Help

    Is there any reason why you are not using the default ports of 9080, 9081-9083. You don't necessarily have to use these specific ports, but it's highly recommended to forward xxxx digit port numbers for Remote Potato.

    HTPC from old Parts. Workable?

    As said, the cpu should serve your needs perfectly. You do not need a powerful CPU for a htpc since most of the work will be done by your gpu. The 560 should be able to play all high bitrate 1080p movies without breaking a sweat.

    Need a new TV

    Picked up a Panny 55" ST30 a couple of weeks back on clearance from Sears a couple of weeks back for 900 bucks and absolutely loving it. The PQ on the Panny with proper calibration is amazing, not to mention the black levels, which are so much better than my Samsung and Sony LCD's.

    HDMI stuck in stereo

    What model is your Onkyo receiver? If it's a HDMI 1.4 receiver, make sure Audio Return Channel is disabled on the receiver.

    Networked Home Theatre w/HTPC

    +1. An i5 2500 would serve your needs perfectly. I would even go as far as not getting a video card at all since the intel onboard graphics should be more than enough unless you plan to do any kind of gaming on this PC. Good luck!

    HDHR Prime 3 Tuner $149.99

    You cannot record to the XBOX. This will record to the PC hosting the xbox as a client. Whether you can move it to your WHS box depends totally on your cable provider and the CCI flags set by your provider. You cannot record to the WHS machine, but you can move the recordings from the WMC...

    HDHR Prime 3 Tuner $149.99

    No complains about the recording quality. Quality is on par if not better than the STB provided by my cable company (TWC). I prefer the HDHR Prime over the Ceton because I am not restricted in placement of the equipment. Network tuning is a big advantage for me as all tuners are available to all...

    Verizion: Removing a Line from Family Plan

    The Nexus pricing has nothing to do with Verizon Wireless. The handset is sold by Amazon and they are the ones who set the price and deals. Verizon promotes their own deals and authorized retailers promote theirs. They are totally independent of each other.

    Verizion: Removing a Line from Family Plan

    Go to the Verizon Corp Store and tell them that you want to split your account and move your ex to her own account. Verizon should be able to move her into her own account thereby allowing her to keep the unlimited data. I know I did something similar about a couple of years back when I moved my...

    Uncompressed Blu-ray help

    There's a good reason to avoid this. A lot of new movies coming out, especially ones that are 'Extended Cut' or 'Director's Cut' use several .m2ts to make up the main movie. so dropping the largest .m2ts file from the 'Stream' folder is not necessarily going to give the right 'Cut' or for that...

    HOTish... Dlink DIR655 $54.99 FS

    Bought mine back in 2007. Still working like a champ. If your Router is rebooting, change out the power supply. I think the power unit is rated 5V @ 2A. I had this happening to me about a year and half back, switched out the power unit and problem solved.

    looking for a good wireless hd media streamer box

    +1! As he said. You may be able to get away with 720p, but 1080p is almost impossible even with dual band wireless N. You can try other options like powerline networking or MoCA if pulling cat5/6 is not a viable option in the apartment.

    Advice on a new Harmony remote

    Unfortunately the Harmony Link does not support Activity Macros. This makes it absolutely useless for people who use advanced commands or require sequences to perform an operation. Thumbs up to the 'Harmony One'. Using this in my home theater room and works perfectly.
