I just checked my Dad's order and his was pushed back to Jan. 6th as well. I am going to talk with Dell to find out what is going on and why all the delays on some but not on others.

They're still having supply chain issues and it's NOT just the blu-ray drive. One of my co-workers ordered his a couple days after I ordered mine (I think he ordered on black friday... I ordered on the 18th). NO blu-ray and he got an email that his order is pushed out to January 6th due to component supply issues. If you have a blu-ray in your config, that's apparently causing the larger lead times pushing out until February,...

I'm planning on getting a new soundcard and videocard as soon as possible for my current pc (845PE chipset). For the videocard I've picked XFX 7600GT AGP 8x (motherboard has AGP 4x connector). Yesterday I found out XFX also has a 7950GT AGP 8x card. I'm not a gamer, I need a card for regular pc stuff as well as HDTV (I have the MDP-130). Later, I'm getting a 24" or 27" LCD monitor 1920x1200 to ...

Didn't take long to set up cause I had just done the same steps for
MyHD_Auto. The CW_EPG program worked fine, I scheduled a couple of
recordings and populated the EPG for MyHD. However, when I try to open
MyHD, I get this message window:

Sending 24fps will eliminate 3:2 pulldown Judder but it will not eliminate
24fps Judder which occurs when the 24fps camera can not keep up with the
source movement such as when Panning.

I second the Silicon Dust HDHomerun tuner. I suffered through many PCI TV tuner cards, and would never go back.

Taking a look at the hardware side of things for a second, how well might this setup work if I eventually expand to two (or maybe even four) hdtv tuners:
Core 2 Duo E6300
Vista Ultimate
2GB of ram
Cheapest CUDA supported nvidia card I can find that runs so cool it doesn't need a fan (to accelerate encoding functions if needed.)
1 TB hard disk

Thanks. I don't understand why they insist on pushing x64, using as an HTPC I just don't see the benefit of going x64 over x32.

Download Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. It takes advantage of hardware acceleration. It worked for me with 0 effort, though some things like subtitles still have me stumped.

Im not going to get into details on specific model numbers, etc. but give you general guidelines to follow for building a machine for what you want to do.
1. Storage - All bluray movies even with stripping out all the "junk" will be about 22 - 35 Gig. 2TB is good to start but but quickly fills up. Think storage array or using some type of server to house all of your movies. There is an ...

Nice write up OP. A few thoughts:
1) Please add a section on playing blu-ray ISOs using for instance either powerdvd/arcsoft TMT through the frontend. BTW, I absolutely love moving pictures. Did they end up adding support for blu-ray ISOs so it shows up? Some of the fanart is just absolutely stunning.
2) Are you sure we need FFDshow+ac3filter? I use SPDIF and the latest MPC-HC + Haali seems...
