[19:23] <mhall119> solarcloud: welcome
[19:23] <mhall119> solarcloud: we don't have any recommended or targeted hardware for the TV right now
[19:24] <mhall119> basically anything that you can connect to a TV
[19:24] <mhall119> a remove control would be handy, but not required
[19:24] <mhall119> tgm4883 and bobweaver (not hear atm) could tell you what hardware they use
[19:25] <solarcloud> ok .. that is a major drawback for testers ...
[19:25] <solarcloud> but the Dude abides
[19:25]  * tgm4883 peaks in
[19:26] <mhall119> solarcloud: understood, we just don't have anything yet
[19:26] <mhall119> tgm4883: solarcloud is wondering what kind of HTPC he should use to test the TV stuff
[19:26] <tgm4883> ah
[19:26] <tgm4883> which part?
[19:26] <solarcloud> I could just test it on my 19" monitor ?
[19:27] <tgm4883> yea
[19:27] <tgm4883> it's probably worth noting that A) it's pretty alpha still, and B) it's made of two parts
[19:27] <tgm4883> which can (but don't have to) be on the same machine
[19:30] <solarcloud> tgm4883: Yeah, I get the idea that it supposed to be built into the TV H-ware, but at the moment .. I'm looking at this :: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-3D-i3-370M-Graphics-Operating/sim/B004DFFUXK/2
[19:30] <tgm4883> solarcloud, that would be incorrect. The target is to have an ISO for people to install on any hardare
[19:30] <tgm4883> hardware
[19:30] <solarcloud> oh Ok..
[19:31] <tgm4883> and what you linked would work, providing all the underlying hardware is supported
[19:31] <tgm4883> solarcloud, of course, that doesn't include a TV tuner card
[19:31] <tgm4883> so you'll still need that
[19:32] <solarcloud> I'm surprised there isn't a contact for all the MediaPlayer guys in the US that can test the hardware.. as Amazon is littered with them (nearly 50 or so)..
[19:33] <tgm4883> not sure I follow
[19:33] <solarcloud> nevermind..
[19:36] <tgm4883> solarcloud, i'm going to grab some lunch, but I'd be happy to answer any of your questions when I get back
[19:38] <solarcloud> Ok , but I think I'll leave it .. just happy to know that this channel exists ... :)
