Vista CableCARD Media Center PCs - what do you want to know?

May 21st 2007 10:50PM on Engadget

I have a Sony VGX-XL3 that I installed by my lonesome with a clueless Comcast tech. Had some initial issues related to the ATI card not being able to re-authenticate on a reboot, but a few firewall settings and a cleaner Wi-Fi signal later, everything seeems to be working fine. Occasional jitteryness on live HD but none on recorded HD. May have something to do with down converting 1080i streams to 720p component on my older Samsung DLP (DVI connector is not HDCP compliant) as 720p (eg ABC, ESPN...) seems fine. Also, added Buffalo Drive Station 500 GB external usb to move recorded movies etc... and it works great. At 8.5 GB a movie (2 hours or so) for HD, allows ample storage. Will keep you posted.

Just go to orb.com and install the mycast app. You can now stream to any pc in the world or to your Windows Mobile phone. Mine works great. Plugs right into Media Center

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
