IOGear have launched an automatic HDMI switch for £170 in the US. Mikael thinks this is expensive, but I don’t think it’s too bad given that a standard switch costs twice that in the UK. This could be the answer to my current problem where I only have one HDMI input on [...]

What Are My Options For A HD Media Center?

My regular readers know that I love my modded Xboxs running XBMC. However, the problem I’m facing currently is that my poor old Xboxs don’t have enough power to handle HD content.
