There's plenty to talk about, from Media Center news centered around Windows 8 and Ceton's upcoming offering (expect details on a beta test soon) to the latest edition of MythTV. We'll also take a look at the latest shot fired by Reed Hastings at Comcast and ponder the possibilities of Sharp's new LCDs. All of that and more is waiting, o go ahead and press play.
