They've got decent links to squeezebox/pinnacle soundbridge etc. Computing > HTPC narky Thu, 02 Nov 2006 04:21:37 GMT http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/harmony-model-880.shtml With HDTV, DVD, DVD-A, SACD, CD, PVR, LCD, DLP, DTS, and other fun home theater acronyms, the more technology marches forward, the more complicated our home theater systems get. Yes, there are simple one-brand "home theater in a box" units that can be controlled by one remote. But the fact is that if your goal is to build a flexible high performance home theater, you’re going to end up with multiple black or silver boxes each contributing its own specialized part to the glorious whole. So how do you, and other family members for that matter, operate all of these various components without an advanced degree in electronic engineering? That’s where Logitech’s Harmony 880 remote comes in.

MythTV is probably the best Media Centre available at the moment for Digital TV. I have had it in production for over a year now and have used it every day. Many thanks to Issac Richards the maintainer and all the active developers.

You may also want to do both (record your favorite shows on your PC but watch them on your TV). Whichever of these you're trying to do, the intention of this article is to provide a concise explanation of how to converge your TV with your PC. Computing > HTPC narky Fri, 27 Oct 2006 00:04:41 GMT http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/index.html Many programs have some form of Electronic Programme Guide, or EPG. They need to get the data for the guide from somewhere, and because the data comes from different sources in different geographical locations, people have separated the uses of the data from the gathering of the data. XMLTV is a format for transferring EPG data. This page lists programs that gather EPG data for Australian TV channels. Programs that use XMLTV (see description below) need to get their data from somewhere. Some companies will sell you a direct XMLTV data feed. Other people use a program known as a grabber or scraper to gather data from the web and convert it into the XMLTV format.

Computing > HTPC narky Thu, 26 Oct 2006 09:51:54 GMT http://geexbox.org/en/index.html GeeXboX is a media center software suite for personal computers, based on Linux and MPlayer, and implemented as a Live CD. As such, the system does not need to be permanently installed to a hard drive, as most modern operating systems would; instead, the computer can be rebooted with the GeeXboX CD when media playback is desired. This is a reasonable approach for who do not need media playback services while performing other tasks with the same computer, for users who wish to repurpose older computers as media centers, and for those seeking a free alternative to Windows XP Media Center Edition.
