Windows 7 Media Center's upgraded Netflix Watch Instantly interface now available {Engadget HD}
Oct 20th 2009 6:14PM I REALLY hope there are some other announcements regarding online content.. Most of the internet content is just clips... who wants to watch clips!
And the Netflix plugin is really nice and all, but it's totally crap cause it doesn't work on extenders.. I agree with Jim.. lame!
A brief history of Ceton and its 6-tuner CableCARD HTPC tuner {Engadget HD}
Oct 7th 2009 10:53AM SDV is a distribution method used by SOME cable companies in SOME areas. It is used as opposed to blast all channels at all times. It, however, requires having 2-way communication between the front-end and the tuner. The tuning adapter (TA) provides a request to the front-end and asks it to broadcast the channel requested. The only digital cable tuners available now (and the foreseeable future) are one-way and need the TA to get the SDV channels. You need to talk to someone (probably five or six people) at Comcast or whomever to find out if any of your channels are SDV... or you can assume the ones you are SUPPOSED to get and you can't actually tune to at the moment are SDV. Does that answer your question?
P.S. -- Depending on the TA your cable company provides, one TA can either resolve 2 streams and some can do up to 4. So you MAY need multiple TAs.

Oct 7th 2009 10:25AM It's either going to ship late 2009 or early 2010. And yes, it works with tuning adaptor(s) supplied by your cable provider. That will allow you to get SDV channels. Hurray for the Hammers!!

Sep 11th 2009 9:52AM Do you know if it has a bracket to mount it directly to a Sharp television? All I'm looking for is a good sound bar that can attach to a good TV. Any combo recommendations?
