looks good man, i just started playing with VMC and the netflix plugin and such, i like it.
are you recording HD OTA or unencrypted QAM from Cable?
 
Where did you pick up the Origen Case? Been trying to find a dealer.
 
Thanks for the link.

What are your thoughts on the VFD? I have heard mixed reviews of them. Just was curious to hear what a regular joe thinks of them.
 
One is doing OTA the other is doing QAM.

Looks nice. How are you interfacing the QAM channels with Vista MCE?

edit: Just realized Avermedia and now Hauppauge too have a Vista MCE plugin for unencrypted QAM!
