So, luckily, there is a solution to your netflix problem with the remote. An awesome XBMC user has written an overlay for Netflix that is remote friendly.
He is still working on it, but something tells me that this will make you really happy! Unfortunately, subtitles need to be activated with...
I use Sickrage but I have an Unraid NAS that I built that is running it along with OpenVPN, Transmission, and Couchpotato. I don't use public sources, only private, Invite only places.
Sickrage is awesome.
I wonder if people still use Vanilla Sickbeard? There are so many separate projects that...
Sorry dude, if you want to do stuff legally, you have to deal with DRM and the constant headaches of the DRM either forgetting that you already purchased the content and locking you out or...just dealing with things not working at all.
Its amazing how that works, isn't it?
My HTPC is my XBMC/Emulator/and Steam Gaming workhorse. I don't think the time has passed. I also bought an Amazon FireTV and put it in my parents' room. Its rooted and boots straight into XBMC. I think its great...but I wouldn't use it personally. I like my HTPC.
If the LED lights are the problem, buy yourself a pack of lightdims (google it). Its 6.98 for a pack of blackout stickers that come in several shapes to match LED sizes.
Its totally worth it. I just got my pack in the mail today and went crazy with them.

They both allow you to watch live TV. "PVR" in the name of the plugin does not mean it won't do what you are asking for help setting up.
So, you're complaining that you tried to buy two items that are probably priced at ~$2 each and they couldn't ship it to your for free?
That's completely false. They have pretty good quality products and they are very good about replacing items that are defective. I haven't purchased a single...
ASUS were pretty open about why they didn't use an IPS panel. Consumers think they know more than R&D departments for some reason.
Find an IPS panel that is affordable and matches the specs of this monitor.
DisplayPort supports daisy chaining. Please stop spreading misinformation. You simply need to get a Display port hub to connect multiple monitors to one DisplayPort on a GPU.
To be honest, I just added a WOL app to my phone where I can put a widget on one of my homepages on Android with a button that just turns on my PC when pressed.
Its hard for someone to tell you if its for you....you'd obviously have to get a setup and determine that for yourself.
The XBMC forums are very helpful and are a good place to start asking questions.
ProjectorPeople has less of a selection. You should check out http://www.reddit.com/r/Zeos/comments/1qohcv/digital_projector_buying_guide_nov_2013/ for a better selection in your budget.

I had no knowledge about RAID arrays or a NAS or anything before reading the forums. I didn't get a pre-built because they were expensive and there were too many options. I had no idea what I was doing. So, I built one and learned more and...
For media storage, you should consider building a NAS.
I'm not sure why you think it would be time consuming project. Its as easy as putting together a PC and booting an OS off of a USB stick. Also, if you built a NAS, you really wouldn't have to drop all that money on those Red NAS drives. You...
I'm just out of my mind for blaming Microsoft when there have been several people who have had their machines jacked up by Windows 8.1. Keep snacking on paint chips.
Another patch? My father's NIC still hasn't recovered from Windows 8.1.
Basically, since updating to Windows 8.1, he can not longer access the internet. His NIC does not work with 8.1 despite getting updated drivers from ASRock.
Luckily, this hasn't happened to me, my NIC has a different vendor.
Homebuild, Unraid.
Case closed.
Lets us know if you need help.
use Assassin HTPC blog to setup unRaid. if you need any addons like plex, SAB, CP, or SB, I can give you the links to those guides from LimeTechnology's forums.
Ive been buying externals instead of bare drives for a long time, I've never been denied warranty. Bare drives are significantly more expensive than the externals. I will never buy a bare drive so long as Seagate keeps producing their enclosures that are so easy to pop open for $30 bucks less. I...
