Congrats!!! And are you happy with it?!

Not to complicate things... but why not buy a Sonos? As AlienTech does, rip to lossless (FLAC). Then stream to any number of zones in your house, and control the whole thing with your...

I'm a huge Monitor Audio fan... I have a pair of RS6's that I love, and have had my eye on the gold series for a long, long time. Grand plans of a home theatre room and a speaker shuffle that will...

Not following the second part of your first sentence AlienTech... it looks like the HD audio comes from the BD through PowerDVD then onto their special encryption driver.

Great question... and tricky to get to the bottom of. I found this image that tells me you can do both - the card produces the analogue outs and sends a bitstream. You have the choice to send a...

Excellent, thank you AlienTech. I've started exploring the site and the capabilities of the card. Very interesting. They do various 7.1 options, but none support DTS Master Audio. Checking...

Hi,

I want to upgrade my audio experience for my HTPC - currently passing audio through HDMI to my TV. I plan to add two main speakers.

Is it a bad idea to connect the PC directly to a...

Hi all,

I am posting to this section as I think the AV receiver crew will have a good perspective on this question. Why do HTPC systems move the audio processing into a receiver?

The PC has...

I bought the PN50C6400 and absolutely love it. If it helps, here are three things that I should have known before I bought it:
1) it sucks an amazing amount of power. Now that we are on...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post an update on my HTPC - it is working out really well. The goal here was to find the cheapest / lowest spec system that would still run flawlessly... total budget...

Hi all - thought I'd post a quick note to say that my HD antenna installation is complete and I am free from Bell! That is, free after I've finished paying them 30 days in advance. Grrr....

The...

Hey,

I need to take the plunge and buy decoding software to play Blu-ray and DVDs on my HTPC. I know that Cyberlink & Corel both have products. And there are multiple flavours of each. I'm...

Hi all,

Looking for a remote recommendation.

I bought the WinTV-HVR-2250 thinking that it came with a remote for Windows Media Center. That part was right - it certainly comes with a remote....

So I switched from the Samsung PN50C6400 to the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 dual tuner card in my HTPC (yes I have it back now!). Without any other changes, I lost a few stations: CITY, OMNI1, and...

Yes, loving it. Also pretty surprised at the quality of the built-in tuner. We watched Cars last night. My son loved it, and so did I! Frankly I'm having a hard time imaginging that it can get...

I just setup the Nippon temporarily out my second story window (facing south) and hooked it up directly to the Samsung PN50C6400 - amazing reception! I get: NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW, CBC, CBC(F),...

Hi all,

Made the second purchase for the new home system - decided to go plasma and bought the PN50C6400, partially based on Mike's review of the PN58C6400. Got a great deal on it... I think. ...

Great info, thanks audit13.

Love it... great quotes too. Nearly all of the episodes are available online. The Ferrari 458 August 2010 episode review is awesome.

What are you driving?
