Weekly Podcast Roundup, October 14th 2010
Here’s the roundup of podcasts in the past week…Enjoy! This week’s podcast gets started with some of the best comments left after the last episode, before we delve into our (very different) opinions of the initial Google TV efforts from Logitech and Sony.

Read moreHTPC Mod Into a Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray Chassis
Yesterday I posted a mod from a Nintendo 64 chassis being used for an HTPC. Well in browsing over the AVSForum I saw this super clean mod from Gmanhdtv where he uses a not-so-old Sony Blu-ray player and mods an HTPC into it, while still utilizing the original Blu-ray drive itself! Great work! I have always liked the clean […]
Read moreInstalling SageTV V7
SageTV V7 Installation Guide If you are new to SageTV getting it installed and everything like ISO playback and HD audio/video playback working can be bit of a challenge; so when I needed to do a V7 install a few days ago I decided to document the process to hopefully make it easier for everyone to get the server […]
Read moreHTPC in a Nintendo 64 Shell
Now here’s a cool little HTPC someone developed, utilizing an old Nintendo 64 chassis to fit in his HTPC.Looks like a tight fit but with minimal specs (SSD, Mini-ITX) it looks more than capable–and more important, it is super stealth! this zotac mobo has almost everything needed (sound, graphics, CPU, connectivity HDMI, Wifi N, optical out etc ), has a […]
Read moreAlien Anthology Blu-ray Screenshots
I have been eagerly awaiting this release for a few years now and the fact that it comes out on October 26th has me very excited. (Note: Mike, I don’t care what else comes out on the 26th. This had better be the pick of the week. 😉 ) I was concerned that there would be an issue with the […]

Long list of movies…probably the longest list I’ve ever posted for releases with recognizing the fewest titles. Go figure. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Hangover Extreme Edition ** This already came out on Blu-ray months ago, but in case you haven’t bought it yet, now you can get this super duper extreme version, which includes the following extras in addition […]
Read moreBlu-ray Player Poll Results
First off, thanks to the 197 people who participated in last week’s poll, asking the question of "What is your primary Blu-ray playback software or hardware." It was said after our last poll on HTPC software, that our members are somewhat skewed based on the content MissingRemote caters to, but the numbers here seem pretty understandable. We show 15% of […]
Read moreEVGA’s GeForce GT 430
Well I just received an e-mail from EVGA and it is official, NVIDIA has released their GeForce GT 430. As expected it includes Blu-ray 3D Support via HDMI 1.4a and HD Audio Bitstreaming. This will be the first HTPC-centric consumer video card to offer 3D Blu-ray and HD Audio Bitstreaming support. I’m very happy to see that it also includes a […]
Read moreReminder: FCC’s October 14th meeting next week
While this isn’t a new article by any means, it is dated September 23rd, new Missing Remote member @brennok reminds us that the "next hearing on CableCARD is set for October 14th so time is running out." If you want to voice your opinion, now is the time, well a couple months ago would have been better but…. If you have […]
