Get back to work!

Well, it's time once again to finish off the last of the eggnog, get a short sleep, and head back to work. I'm pleased to announce my HTPC is running great, watching and recording HD is working flawlessly after finally finding a setting that made the HD tuning work 100% of the time, compared to 75% of the time. I've recorded and watched about half a dozen movies in the last week, thanks partly to the movie channels, but the ones that aren't and have commercials (Showtime, Bravo, etc), the Comskip program works flawlessly and simply skips over the commercial breaks on all the recorded shows... The only challenge left is to figure out why decoding 1080p encoded (Quicktime, etc) material I've downloaded (trailers, etc) is a bit glitchy still. I'm holding out for a Blu-ray drive until they drop to $100 (not much longer - http://www.xpresscanada.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=019903&cid=CR.405 ). Ah well, I've cued up a bunch of HD shows to record and watch back sometime in the future.
