The software includes a remote assistance feature.  As part of the SureFiire guarantee Fiire will add support for whatever you hardware you have, such as adding infrared codes for your TV if it's not in the database, and adding drivers for your lighting system if it's not already supported, and so on.  So the customer is guaranteed it will integrate with their other devices or they get their money back.  And, yes, HDMI is via a DVI->HDMI cable.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Laughlin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/fiires-linux-based-media-center-ties-it-all-together/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/fiires-linux-based-media-center-ties-it-all-together/</guid><description><![CDATA[HDCP: DVI can also support HDCP.  My Fujitsu Plasma supports HDCP over DVI.  Besides, what would you be watching from a Media Center that requires HDCP outside of HD DVD/Blu-Ray (neither of which is sold with this device)?<br><br>1080p: Assuming you have a 1080p TV it should properly deinterlace the 1080i signal sent by this device.  My media center sends out a 1080i signal and my JVC TV properly deinterlaces it 1080p.<br><br>This is an inexpensive alternative to Microsoft's Media Center.  Adding an HDMI means raising the costs and, in my opinion, is not needed in this device.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2007 1:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
