MSWHS found this handy little article written on connecting your Logitech Squeezebox to your Windows Home Server system. Presumably a lot of these steps are good practice, so they could work even if you have a different player. Simple but effective if you’re having difficulties. Scott Miller The main problem was that while streaming music I would get intermittent stops […]
Read moreInteresting announcement of upcoming products from Onkyo. I’m not sure if I’m a fan of every CE device including all these various tie-ins to online content providers. I think in the end all the devices might support everything and then allow the consumer to choose the best. But seriously, who buying one of these receivers wouldn’t be able to afford […]

Some of it is redundant, but there are enough differences to make this free offering quite useful to many people. We Got Served Once you have installed and configured the various Recorded TV Manager components, […]
Read moreNot exactly what I’d expect from the WHS community, but a fantastic post that crosses topics here, as Damian covers some various containers and compares the filesize of each for your convenience.

Considering how long it’s been around, I’ve been quite surprised with all the recent traction which 3D has picked up from major studios.
