Permalink to this day Thursday, July 21, 2005

There is a new Expert Zone article by one of our developers, Scott Saunders, Find and Record Movies with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (read what people are saying in the Newsgroups).

If you have digital cable you should definitely check the Movies Portal out. It's a very cool way to browse for content to watch. And as I mentioned earlier, I'm the new program manager for the Movies Portal and I'm looking forward to introdcuing new movies functionality in upcoming versions of Media Center.

Embedded Automation announced today the commercial release of mControl. They have a starter kit that I'm pretty tempted to pick up:
The mControl X10 Starter Kit comes with everything needed to get started and experience the benefits of mControl. Included is a full version of mControl v1(Home Edition) and the latest X10 CM15A computer adapter, along with the required X10 modules to control a light, manage an appliance and to sense motion.

Is anyone here into home control? Does this starter kit sound like a good deal?

Update: In my comments Dan points to a review of the earlier trial on CocoonTech.
