I want something like this but with an HD tuner and hard drive, in other words a DVR. Oh, yeah and a Blue-ray reader/burner. So, sorry, no.

@stryder100: Blu-ray? Seriously? What's the point. It'll be gone in a year or two anyway. The future is streaming, and it will be here before Blu-ray ever catches on with the masses. This device is just one more example of that fact.

@hexydes:

i think you are forgetting that:

the number of people who rent movies > the number of people who will have internet connections capable of downloading gigantic media files in a reasonable amount of time, in the near future.

As of a month ago, only 55% of those with internet access had broadband. And as we all know, it's not really all that broad.

There will be, for quite a while, a market for people who either can't or aren't willing to deal with intangible media. One BD is what, 30-40 gigs? (im not up on BD)

I dunno, call me when we have gig/sec speeds.

@hexydes: Blu ray may not catch on with the masses for a few years, but neither will streaming. Most people still don't have decent broadband and with the economy in the toilet, that will not be on their list right now. The future is streaming, but that future is still several years away.

@nutbastard:

ok i have to retract that last part because i haven't had coffee yet, ugh i do realize that streaming doesn't present quite the issues that downloading does, but still requires unrealistic bandwidth if it's going to make BD obsolete enough to abandon this early.

*goes and gets coffee*

I like the keyboard. I was in the market for a media PC keyboard until I started VNCing my MediaPC with my living room laptop.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->:

I got my HTPC a Logitech Mediaboard when they were going for 25 bucks each. Still working perfectly after a year of having dogs sit on it, dropped from the sofa and drinks spilled on it.

@tarrantm: I got a cheap Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo just before I learned about Synergy or VNC. I still have the keyboard and mouse connected as it's easier to pause the movie by hitting the space bar as opposed to firing up VNC.
