Well, it is part of it, I mean, that's partially why I jumped in when it first came up, because I wanted to get started on doing my homework on all things I need to know to build my home theater PC when WIN 8 is out. I just wanted to figure out if putting a TV toner in the PC was still worth it. So yeah, this is in a sence part of the idea.

How does discussion of accessible home theater fit with all of this? That is a discussion I would like to be a part of too. There are so many of the systems that are totally unaccessible that all you can really do is have a sighted person set it up for you because of all the menus and choices that need to be set and we can't access them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hamit Campos" <hamitcam...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 10:45 PM Subject: RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine? > Yeah, I know.
