Missing Remote has had several great articles and review this week including an article on SDV and what it means to your CableCARD PC.  In addition to that Mike reviewed TVTonic for Media Center and D-Link’s DSM-330 DivX Connected Extender (non Media Center Extender).

Ian Dixon got one of the new HP TouchSmart panels to play with and gives his first impressions and an unboxing video.  If you haven’t had a chance to use one of these new panels yet I’d run out and try and find one locally setup in-store.   It is a great PC and the fact that it doubles as a touchpanel makes it even more worth the already cheap $1200 price tag.

On this week’s Media Center Show Ian had on newcomer to the Media Center scene Ben Drawbaugh of Engadget HD fame.  Covered in the show are various topics on home automation and Media Center Extenders.
