Once I set the 360 to receive generic Media Center IR commands (system blade, remote) - and once I added the HP x5400 to my list of devices (I don't have an HP media center machine, I just used it to enable the IR commands within the Harmony itself), I am able to turn the 360 on and put it into MCE with no issues.

Previously I had to hit play-play in some sort of power on/macro before hitting the green button to launch MCE ... apparently the generic MCE IR codes that the HP x5400 uses don't require this weirdness.

Tested Transcode 360 and it works wonderfully. Still a little goofy that you can't play the video directly (but you can see a thumbnail). You have to hit "info" and then click transcode ...

It doesn't pick the video up where you left off if you stop and replay (no big deal) but the quality looks great and it's working great on my little MCE machine (not a stud by any means).

Eagles lost to the Saints in a GREAT game.  I really had my hopes up for the eagles this year, they were playing like they were on a mission.  The entire city had given up after McNabb went down and yet they fought on and improved drastically .. they were the underdog and loving it and they weren't overconfident.

Early on westbrook cost them a few big plays, 1st downs ... and late it was the right guard who was playing his 1st game for an injury in the 1st quarter ... but NO played stellar and shut the eagles down when they needed to.

Don't know how the wires got crossed with 18004MYXBOX but I was sent a wired headset (related to my wireless headset problem I imagine).

Called them up, they said I could ship it back.  I asked if this meant I had to pay for return shipping on it and she said just keep it.

So now I have 2 wired headsets not in use.  I wonder if there's a market value on ebay for them!
