Entertainment 2.0-Episode 71: Tricks and Tips From Boston

Apr 2, 2010 by

Ent20logo2 Episode 71 is here and this week we’re joined by our special guest, Pete Stagman of NEDMUG.  Pete recently published an article that will walk you right through the complete setup of a media center system from installing your OS to the tweaks you should apply to get the best experience possible.  He shared some tips with us on the show this week that a lot of people should find helpful.

We also take time to touch on Never Miss TV though none of us can say much as this is a UK exclusive.  We’re still looking for one of the Media Center users from the other side of the pond to join us and talk about these streaming applications.

Thanks to those of you that wrote in this week.  Keep the email and voicemail coming!  We enjoy hearing from you.  You can use the contact page, or even better, just call 1-877-856-4933 and leave a message.

    Hey guys, just a comment on your analog tuner bitrate discussion…the set top box isn't outputting in “bitrates”, just like a 35mm camera doesn't capture megapixels. It's the analog tuner that is capturing and converting the analog signal into digital, think of it as a digital camera taking 30 pictures per second of the analog video. It's the bitrate of those digital camera pictures in that analogy that you're adjusting in MCE.

    Yeah, I understood that, but was trying to come up with an easy way to explain it. Thanks!
