no, i am not talking about that, dude. you did not search "hdtv or htpc" in search box in AD. we did talk about these hdtv techies, stuffs, and FCC in previous posts so that is why i said old news.
i agree with neo about hdtv lcd that is better than plasma. plasma live shorter... many ppl warn us not to play video games on plasma or you wud burn the plasma out.
windows media is nice but there are other more softwares that work just fine. you can find more info about htpc techies forums -
