I’m sure we have a lot of talented graphics artists and themers out there so why not take a crack at this competition.  Even if you don’t normally use Mythtv.  Could be fun.   With the release of MythTV 0.22, theme authors have powerful new tools in their hands to mold the MythTV interface as they see fit. We are […]

Sometimes a man’s quest to "scratch an itch" leads to great things.  Other times the novelty just fizzles after time.  I’m not sure what to think about using RFID coasters to control your HTPC but I can’t help but feel that there is some potential for this beyond just "scratching the developer’s itch".   For this project I attempted to […]

Lets get testing this new Alpha1 Build boys !   [XBMC 9.11: Alpha1 ready for testing]

DailyTech The FCC would not simply take the airwaves away and would reportedly spend about $12 billion to buy the airwaves back and $9 billion to move homes using OTA TV to digital or subscription services.

I love the W7 interface. I assume the PS3 will be as good. Although the articles says you have to have a Netflix bluray access disc to use the service. That seems kinda hokey.
