Seems like after years of being teased we will finally get to see the coveted Direct TV pc tuner.

Earl at DBSTalk managed to get the info this morning on the HDPC-20 as well as some image scans ( front , back ) of the brochure.

Soon after Chris Lanier and the guys over at TGB started speculating that Microsoft may make an announcement tomorrow.

So here’s hoping that after many hints and promises, Direct TV and media center will finally start playing nice together. (Right after I bought my Cable Card system… damn.)

It is official. Warner Bros. Studios has thrown their weight to the Blu-Ray exclusive camp, dooming HD-DVD.

Check the story here from EngadgetHD .

I’m sad to see HD-DVD go, but armed with a LG Combo Drive in my media center I’ll be able to watch all the titles I’ve collected so far in HD-DVD format and keep buying new ones in the Blu format.

Plus you have got to give it to Sony, they finally came out on top of a format war.
