After installing this update, WMC (7 64-bit) no longer recognizes that I even have a tuner installed!

Nice. Proudly displaying your dishonesty.

Just went to the ATI driver download site - the latest firmware is still April 2008! Where is it?

Just looking to trade in my Sony HDV for an SD/HDD based solution - what's the problem with AVCHD?? Seems like they are all AVCHD!! If its that bad, what are the options?

This movie is good.

World economy: return to capitalism. There very people who complained we couldn't get water to the Superdome fast enough after Katrina are the ones who want the same people to handle their surgeries? Makes no sense. Bailouts haven't done a thing other than enslave us to further debt.

Now can I have coraline?

HR21 is a Media Center device for PC's - and it was canned in December after being rumored since 2005-06.

I just got my 60" Kuro on Monday. I love it but I said the very same thing yesterday - with Panasonic being the only major player in plasma (that I can think of), plasma is probably on its last leg. On the other hand all of the plasma affeciandos will have to go to panasonic to get their precious plasma....maybe it will be profitable in a one-man show.

I can tell by your post you truly are one intelligent person, but if you are not too busy lighting tribute candles for your Obama poster just do a Google search plenty of sources (reuters, usatoday, foxnews, etc.) . Or better yet look right here on engadgetHD where Ben has even gone so far as to help you with the math.

EIther way Einstein, watch that gap on your check between gross and take-home grow. Before its over, you're gonna be paying a bit more taxes than Tom Daschle, Charlie Rangel, or Timothy Geithner.

Tom, I am gonna guess he is referring to the government being expected to provide converter boxes to people as socialism. The goverment in a socialistic society expects the government to provide all the "necessities" Much like many other things people think that the government must provide people, television is not a "right". On top of what has already been paid, the new bill allows for an additional $650 million in converter coupons. Once the government started doing this no one was going to pay full price.

Dwight's right.

That just cost us an estimated $500 million (minimum) when we are trying to figure out how to pay for what we need!
