Hi, I have a front projector in my theater room but this room is only used for movies in the Denon DVD player. I would like to buy a Blu Ray player this month's Black Friday PLUS I would like to get a TV tuner for the projector so we can use it for more than just movies. So, I was on this site and looking at HTPC Build threads and had the following thought: would it be better to do an HTPC build for $400 - $700 vs. buying a Channelmaster CM7400 http:// or similar product, since the CM7400 is phased out & being replaced, plus buying the Blu-ray player?
I was reading the sticky on "BestConfigs: Home Theater PC" when I thought of his possibility. I think the cost of a blu ray player plus a TV tuner might almost be the same cost as a HTPC so do I get more for the money with the HTC? We also do not do any gaming so we are one of the few families who do not have any Wii's, Xboxes, Playstatons, etc, although we are getting closer to buying one in the future...maybe this Christmas we will finally take the plunge and make our 10 yr old daughter happy?
