Where to buy a Pinnacle Showcenter 200
Does anyone know where I can get one from? Everywhere I look they say coming next week (and that was two weeks ago).
Starting to get cheesed off having to keep bringing the laptop downstairs to watch xvids and stuff on the TV.
Thanks

The only reason why I have not taken it back for a refund is because it does acyually play .ts files after a simple .mpg rename. However, the box, remote, firmware & software are very poor IMHO.
What annoys me is that the ShowCentre 200 is supposed to be easy to install and configure. That's simply not true.
As soon as Sky HD and HD-DVD come along the ShowCentre is History in my house.

I think the showcentre 200 is great streams everything including 1080i ts files. No need to rename them to mpg. I for one wont be getting Sky HD as its just not worth it! However Im really keen on trying to install Windows Media Center 2005 and stream as much as possible through the 360.
