Further to my post yesterday about the Sky Player announcement at the UK Windows 7 launch I was at, I just noticed that on my Media Center under TV I now have a Sky Player icon that says Coming Soon. Cool 🙂

Tonight I will be showing you some options for setting up TV signal, recording TV and storing TV programs with Windows Media Center (WMC) and your Windows Home Server.

Today was the day that Microsoft announced their new MVPs and rewarded their old ones.

Well it’s been a very long time coming, but I can finally say that our Forums are now up.

This cool little device has just been announced: The Xtreamer player is the cheapest way to play and stream HD (MKV H.264) movies or user-generated videos, listen to high-quality digital music and show high-resolution slideshows of your family photos on your TV.

This is my first review for UsingWindowsHomeServer.com and I thought I would start by reviewing a Remote Control Media Center App called VMCMOTE.

TV Tuner cards are not exactly new – you can buy cards for you desktop computer and you can even buy USB devices as well. What is new though is an Ethernet based tuner, and one that comes with not just one, but two built in tuners and supports streaming up to 1080i. This little marvel is called the HDHomeRun from SiliconDust.

Ian Dixon over at the Digital Lifestyle.com has just released the latest Media Center Show, which includes information on Window Home Server PP3, including a quick chat with me on what PP3 brings to the party for Windows Home Server.
