MCE PC to TV Wirelessly?
Does anyone know if in the future that there will be an upgrade that will allow a MCE PC to do, on two screens, computing and watching TV at the same time?

Best speaker setup for MCE PC
But does the fault lie with MCE, the system builders or the end users just being dumb f##s and stuffing all sorts of virus and spyware laden crap on their PCs and failing to run regular Windows updates and so on?

Can't Access MCE PC Remotely
I have an HP m300y on order, I am hoping this will be a good start with the world of MCE. However I will want to upgrade its hardware, add hard drives, put a silent PSU etc. which is difficult at best in its current mini-tower case. In the long run (likely after the 1 yr warranty), can I just dismantle this PC,

File Sharing Problem with Windows MCE PC
I think Microsoft should get more teenagers and kid's in their 20's involved in the development of MCE PC's. Right now, the MCE PC is no better than a PC that I can self-build for less than $250 or $450(with a high-end gamer video card). To be an ultimate success, the MCE PC must REPLACE the TiVO, VCR, radio,

MCE PC to TV Wirelessly?
I even bought an IR Extender to extend the infrared signal from my living room to the MCE PC 50' away. What you're saying is that the MCE Extender and its remote is all that I need.

We recently got a MCE Pc, and have been incredibly impressed with it. Loving the PVR functionality of it.

Unable to browse MCE PC?
I see a genuine revenue issue for MS whether a person who buys a HD Tivo is more or less likely to buy a MCE PC later. I suggest less likely unless the PC can do what a PC is supposed to as well as what the Tivo is supposed to. Right now, in the ANALOG TV world, there are several apps (MCE, MMC, Snapstream,

Build or Buy a MCE PC
I assume the IR blaster has an approximate 6ft. wire, requiring that the MCE PC and the satellite receiver be in the same room. Mine are not in the same room, so an X-10 Powermid IR Extender Set (PM5900, about $40) from MCE PC to home theater will do the trick. Nice. An X-10 VideoSENDER (VK30A, about $90) from MCE
