Just a quick thanks to all developers, designers, inventors etc etc etc.

Set up my PCH A-110 at the weekend. Just using it as a movie jukebox at the moment with an internal 1TB samsung drive and running YAMJ with robinjexcal skin (doesn't quite find all the fanart yet and not played around with it too much trying to get it to recognise the stuff i've put in but looks great and makes browsing so much nicer). Setup was pretty easy once I figured out what the hell I was doing with random bits of code etc Big Grin

Looks great as a part of my massive gadget setup, I'm well chuffed. (got a harmony 885 to control the thing too. I found that irritating as hell to set up as its very narrow minded! it insists that you need to tell it what input things need to be on? Huh

why not have a this an is irrelevant question option? It was also convinced that I couldn't possibly have the "watch a video" option without wanting my DVD player on even though I want to use the PCH. And why "watch a video"? I want a watch a film option and a watch a DVD option! but anyway I digress).

Got it hooked up to my wireless network, updated fine.

Hopefully can now find out what else this baby can do for me.

Thanks to a great design and great community! ( I did get a small 25mm <18 DBi fan, but its far noisier that the HDD, even when sitting on padding so haven't bothered. Its never even gotten that warm.)

Check out Torrentwatch. It is a RSS add-on for bit torrent downloads. Best piece of software for the Popcorn Hour in my opinion.

I do need to have a play with the harmony properly and get it set up.

And will have a look at the torrent side of things, cheers.

On the other hand, tonight i'm just gonna relax and watch a film Cool

Just started to get the remote set up properly now, never realised it would be able to handle so much. For watching the PCH it now turns the tv on and to the right channel, turns the amp on and the PCH, and then turns the tv volume all the way down and the amp to the right channel, all at the push on one button! amazing.

Off to watch a film now on the PCH i'm happy as Larry!

Thanks again PCH people, the problem with a forum is you only ever hear the problems that people need help with!
