hope they include Mobile Clippy this time.

@barb

or ToFurkey as the case may be...

are you kidding? this is huge, that is, for people who actually use their phones for business and not just for ifarts and ilighters.

wonder if mobile outlook is any different.

also just in time for Thanksgiving, nothing like tinkering with the new stuff on a day off (or two).

again... read many comments above...

for use in VMC with a remote, in a TV watching like setting.

please, people, pay attention.

we have a DMA2100 in the kitchen. if I start a [live TV] show in the den on the main VMC and I need to go cook dinner in the middle of that show (for example) I can go to the kitchen and turn on that same show and have access to the rewind cache for the same show in the den, or vice versa, starting in the kitchen. I can resume playback on either with a recorded show where I left off. ALL IN HD. we have 4 tuners in the VMC and occasionally have 3 shows recording and 1 show playing on the linksys and 1 in the den and never a hiccup. instead of running coax to the kitchen, I ran CAT5, I think that makes the difference.

there is nothing else that will do this and when I demonstrate this to people who have never seen full VMC in action. usually they are jealous because their cable co. DVRs can't do it.
then I tell them that I can't get all the digital cable channels and they're not jealous anymore. it's just a shame that Cablelabs made/makes it so difficult and expensive to have real cable on a VMC. this is supposed to be changing for W7 and new cable hardware standards, but until then my solution just doesn't work for most other people.

I'm hoping the extender concept stays alive and am keeping my eye out for one of those HP TVs with the Media Smart built in on deep discount. fortunately, W7 supports the Linksys units even better than Vista, so I might be tempted to pick up a DMA2200 I saw for only $100, a bargain for an upscaling DVD player + extender.

does it play live TV?

does the Popcorn hour receive streamed live TV?

can you watch live HD TV on it from another room? can you watch the DVR recordings from your main DVR?

you're not paying attention. and missing the point.

1) with the exception of the XBox 360, extenders are silent and about the size of a router.
2) it duplicates almost everything on a Media Center pc, thus, you put it in another room away from your Media Center, like a den or kitchen and watch everything main MC does. like the same DVR stream and rewind cache, the same recorded TV, music, photos libraries but just in another room in HD. it extends the MC. you can even make Netflix work on them.

so if you're concerned about codec support and your library of bittorrented DVDs, this is not the device for you and you don't understand what it does.
