Quick update – I noticed that several people have been reading the site – especially on the Xbox 360, even with the long delay in posts, so I thought I would post an update on the performance so far.
The WAF(Wife Acceptance Factor) is HUGE! The 360 is housed inside a totally enclosed cabinet, connected with optical cables to my Yamaha reciever and through Component to a Sharp LCD flat panel hanging above the fireplace. In order to keep everything hidden I got a Logitech Harmony 890 – it uses RF to transmit to an IR repeater and so I can control everything with one remote while keeping everything hidden. The 890 is working well even though I had read some reviews saying others had problems – I must have lucked out and gotten updated firmware that stopped lockups and other issues.
I love having '24' in all it's HD glory recorded and being able to be displayed in either room. Not to mention the fact that all of our music and photos are fun to have on during parties – people always ask how they can do the same thing.
Well, off to hang out with the wife..

I to love the 360 and MCE. but I seemed to have gone through some of the things you did. the linksys AG router is garbage. Wish I could wire the house. Anyway i want to get rid of all my music files on the 360 and start over. I started with way too much and it takes a long time to search (1800 albums). Do you have any idea on how to do this? If you uncheck the folders they still show up.
