The last time I modified my registry I used regcleaner but for some reason
its not working for me any more. Is there any other registry editor that
is similar?

[H] Kingston LoVo: Power saving 1.25V DDR3 RAM

2010-03-26 Thread Stan Zaske
Any of you guys interested in cool running PC's for your media server? 
This article clearly shows that low voltage DDR 3 memory can save 
significant energy and your CPU will also benefit by using less voltage 
because the memory controller is using less energy. Less energy less 
heat and a quieter running fan. The electric bill might be of interest 
as well.

Re: [H] Hey Bino your Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers $74

2010-03-26 Thread Bino Gopal
Arghh, way to tease me Winterlight! ;P  Well, they are $89 on Amazon tho, so
not much more there if I wanted them...

And thanks for the thought, but I guess I'd probably go for the Z-5500s if
those ever went on sale, since they're the closest match to the Klipsch
ProMedia Ultra 5.1s I had that died.

In the meantime I'm using these, and they're not bad (got them for $100
shipped): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MUXJCO/ and they seem to be
pretty good; powerful, tho not 5.1 of course! :P

Re: [H] Suggested HTPC Setup

2010-03-26 Thread Mesdaq, Ali
Do you have to buy a cablecard yourself? Here in San Diego TimeWarner 
apparently will lease it for $2.50 a month which I find kind of hard to believe 
its so cheap. Anyone have experience with these cablecards? I hope it doesn’t 
require some DRM software to take over my machine. I will be setting everything 
up on a Linux system so I wonder if that will be a problem. Also what interface 
do these cards plug into? Do I need some type of adapter or is there PCI-x 
slots or similar?

One minor point I'd like to make:

Confirm that you can receive a strong TV signal for the reception mode you are 
going to use. (i.e. OTA/Sat/Cable).  I bought a an ATI TV card, hooked it up to 
an antenna only to find my OTA reception is barely acceptable where I live (for 
the dozen or so channels that are available)... and so my HTPC lacks PVR/Live 
capability, unless I choose to spring for cablecard.

Subject: [H] Suggested HTPC Setup

Hey Everyone,

I am looking into putting together a HTPC system together and I am at the stage 
of planning it out. I have been looking stuff up online and reading docs and I 
think I have an idea of how the software should be setup. My basic requirements 
are:
- Nice interface
- Easy access to online content
- Ability to remotely stream my content (slingbox'ish)
- DVR replacement

Nice to have features:
- Notification of new online content
- Remote streaming optimized for mobile (nokia n900) and laptops
- Ability to record and locally store online content

So for the software I was thinking of using:
- xbmc as the frontend for everything
- mythtv as the backend pvr

However I am not sure I have found a good solution for doing the remote viewing 
of the content especially have not found anything that can optimize the remote 
streaming. 

For the hardware I was basically thinking of putting together a smaller quieter 
system but not sure if everything will fit in those smaller cases. Also it 
would be nice to have a remote so probably something that can accommodate that 
will be nice. Also I am not sure about best video card for the job as well as 
what tv tuner card I should get. I was thinking of setting the system up with 
either usb flash drive or ssd (if its cost effective) for booting and having 
another larger slower drive to store the content on. 

So I would love to hear from people here who have suggestions on 
software/hardware/configurations to help accomplish this.
