My Movies 3.0
Hello MissingRemote.com! I’m CrAzY, a moderator of TheGreenButton.Com and former Media Center MVP. I’ve been using Media Center since its release in 2002 and still using it to this day (now on Windows 7 Media Center, of course), but find my needs vastly different than when I first entrenched myself in the HTPC world. When I first started, my goal […]
Read moreGeektonic Reviews the Popcorn Hour C200
It would take a very special media streamer to pry the HTPC out of my A/V stack. Based on the spec’s the PCH C200 could be the one to do it, if only it was also a SageTV extender 🙂 I’ve used the earlier version of the Popcorn Hour A-110 a little and have used the SageTV HD Theater […]
Read moreWindows 7 is Here!
On the night before Windows 7, there were screams of rage in the house, as I accidentally deleted all my lossless audio…crap that doesn’t rhyme. But now the stockings were hung and a new partition was cleared. Windows 7 started to download and October 22nd wasn’t even here. The student/alumni pricing was a pretty good deal. I might even beat […]
Read moreWindows 7 Officially Launches Tonight

Read moreVideo: InternetTV for Windows 7 In Action
Along with the Netflix icon for Windows 7, users will also see a tile for InternetTV, which is the next version of Microsoft’s online video content offering. A short while ago, it was rumored and hoped that Microsoft was in the works with Hulu.com on being able to integrate their amazing library of shows into Media Center…however, it’s clear that […]
Read moreVideo: Netflix for Windows 7 Installation and In Action
I’ve seen lots of screenshots of the new Netflix inside Windows 7 Media Center, but to get a better sense of the experience I thought I would capture some videos of it. It hasn’t had a HUGE facelift since Windows Vista, but I found it to be very responsive and I like the new interface. I separated this into two […]

Read moreAMD Athlon II X2 240e & Athon II X3 435
I think this is another win for AMD in the HTCP area. These prices can’t be beat. The combo deals that Newegg and Fry’s will be rolling out will probably be great deals. I wonder if the wife is ready for a replacement. There’s really no reason to go out and spend $600 on a CPU if your main […]
Read more5900rpm Seagate Hard Drives: Barracuda LP, Pipeline HD .2
We have a very active thread going on in our forums regarding the cost to noise benefit of going with a Solid State hard drive in your HTPC after Intel announced an upcoming 40gb version at $160. To counter that, SPCR has 3 super quiet Seagate hard drives for review, that while mechanical do a fantastic job of staying quiet–with […]
