I have CD-Rs that can fit 700MB worth of songs which usually would fit around 18 or 19. Now it will only burn one song on a cd and I am no where near my capacity for the cd with on the playlist.

Not sure if that still prevents people from playing protected media over to a non-protected display though.

I have a MAC based system (iMac with Drobo for filestore and 3 Apple TV's as clients and 2 airtunes setups for audio) plus an MCE system for TV recording (Quad digital tuner PC with 3 XB360 extenders). And I felt the inforamtion given on the use of powerline networking as a suitable way of wiring all the sources together was not accurate. I use a 200MBPS Devolo based poweline system with an N wireless setup, all video goes via the wired system and I regularly have 3 clients streaming video (inc HD) across the network with 100% reliability and no packet loss or issues.

There are plugins for both Firefox and Safari, and by using delicious you can get at your bookmarks from any PC. My online life is scattered over at least 4 computers, so it's a lifesaver for me!

My solution for the keyboard/mouse when I am sitting on my couch is the Bluetooth DiNovo Mini Keyboard. This thing is awesome because it combines a mouse and a keyboard in a small package that I can leave on my coffee table next to my remotes. Also this has an USB dongle as well to use it with other devices such as my Xbox 360.

My content is 100% derived from Eye TV over the air TV. Just started using the Turbo USB to compress on my G5 but I do have problems on most exports to the ?TV setting. Elgato website promises a fix but it hasn't happened. Most of my content is HDTV from PBS and it compresses till the end when it eventually fails. Solution is to export in hi quality iPod setting, but if it is great quality show like Nature, I compress to ?TV without using the Turbo and that works fine but takes longer. Best!
