The more moving parts and complexity, the more chance of the whole thing going boom. And even if it doesn't, PCs rapidly become obsolete. That spiffy new HTPC will look distinctly mouldy in a few years hence.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 21st 2008 4:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/19/all-in-one-pcs-and-internet-tv-to-invigorate-htpc-market-says-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/19/all-in-one-pcs-and-internet-tv-to-invigorate-htpc-market-says-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[I really don't get all the negativity surrounding this subject.  I run a quad HP in the basement of the house.  I extend that to a 360 and three Linksys extenders.  All I had to do was put an extra TV tuner in and hook two cable boxes to the PC.  It didn't take any more work than that.  Once ClearQam is supported in Windows Media Center I will at least get the networks in HD.  So all I am really missing out on is HBO and ESPN type channels in HD.  While I fully admit it is a negative that I can't record and extend those channels without a new PC, the positives still make me love the setup.  The internet side of it is a complete add-on.  We already pay for hi-speed internet.  We didn't pay for the internet connection so we could watch video programming on our TVs.  But we can watch programming via the internet.  So it's a complete plus that we didn't even plan on having.  I don't see the negativity in that.  It seems to me that Engadget, CNET and others like it just don't have any love for the use of PCs in the home and mobile entertainment market.  It really makes me wonder who is pushing this propaganda.  CNET even makes it a point to tell people that there is no reason to have a TV tuner in a new PC.  When it comes to $2000 TVs, $400 disc players and $300 portable media players they are all for it.  I say save your money on the TV and disc players and get into connectivity and portability that works.
