IntelliControl for AV System

IntelliControl If you want to build a distributed audio system for your house IntelliControl from Niles Audio is one of the best choices. It accommodates all audio sources including Sirius and XM satellite radio, MP3 players, CD players, media servers and AM/FM radio and allows simultaneous listening and control them from the different rooms or zones throughout a house. IntelliControl delivers detailed information about music source to and from its control panels.

The system can be controlled both a simple remote and wireless remote control dubbed the iRemote, which supplies all of the “metadata” (song title, artist, album, etc.) to users’ fingertips, allowing them to scan, select and play content from their ICS system just as if they were standing in front of a CD rack, satellite receiver or holding an iPod in their hands.

The functionality of IntelliControl seems similar to NaimNet - home AV controlling system from Naim but I suspect its price is lower.

Windows Media Center and YouTube

YouTube is coming to be a standart de-facto for as online stream video (It’s a funny place. You can spend there all your working day). YouTubeMCE plugin for Microsoft Media Center can be a visual proof this thesis. It allows to search YouTube videos, sort, and browse personal favorites. YouTubeMCE also kindly provides video thumbnails for selections and even offers two choices for watching videos: YouTube’s default player (embedded) or Fullscreen. Have a fun!
