Could someone (erkotz?) pm me please. I was on the beta list, but now notice they are up for pre-order for Nov 30th...
Have to say I'll be very disappointed if I don't get the unit....
It wouldn't have anything to do with UK shipping would it??

Can anyone confirm if the Echo remote control MCE infared codes are the same/standard MCE codes used by the 'other' old extenders infared codes? So will my 'other' remotes loaded up with these standard MCE extender IR codes work with the Echo? (I really would like to know before I preorder an Echo,...

How is the menu performance and speed on the Echo? Is it similar to a Linksys DMA (no animations and transitions), the X-Box 360 or a PC?

I am not part of the Beta (wish I was) so here is a question that has come to mind:

Will the echo be able to attach to multiple WMC HTPC machines at the same time.. The current extenders can only be associated with a single WMC HTPC. If not, then this would definitly be a feature that would put...

Hi there

I'm having some issues with video types. I have tried H.264 MKV files and DVD rip VOB files but the echo is saying that they are unsupported video files. I rip my DVDs to DVD format folders with VOB files. I also have a few movie files in WTV and MKV format. I use MediaBowser as well as...

Any plans to allow other devs to develop apps for Echo ? I'd love to buy one but without ability to access MY collection via Plex app (plex can transcode on the fly to any format that Echo natively supports ) I think I'd rather go for cheap HTPC due to WAF.

Thanks

Will the Ceton Echo remote have a profile available for the Logitech Harmony universal remote?

I imagine the echo will support closed captions just like other extenders, however I wanted to see if they would support transparant/transluscent backgrounds to the captions? The MCE itself supports these however the option to set these are not visible for extenders in the MCE UI. There are...

Congratulations to you all on the ECHO (Beta) Announcement; another great milestone achieved!

I am looking forward to helping in getting the ECHO ready for Retail Release.

Well Done!

I realize this is the Echo sub forum, but I am just curious about that Q, so I am gonna throw a question out there........

I realize the Q will be based on Win7 Media Center. Will the Ceton team have the ability to fix stuff that is broken in the current Media Center release? My main question is...

The early September update from Ceton said:
Things are looking good to start sending out beta units the first week in October, which leaves us on target to release the Echo in November, in time for the holiday shopping season as promised. If you’ve been selected for the beta, keep an eye out for...

Any chance? Sold my PC built a new one as I'm sold on w8 (call me weird I like it!)
Recently bought the ceton companion without even looking... Doesn't work with windows 8 does it!!! Lol
Got on the echo beta fortunately - however I'm running windows 8 rc and was looking to just buy that on release....

Will the echo have this? Add the media browser & web browser capabilities and I will be over the moon! (I realise web is already enabled #hopeso)

I know that this is wishful thinking, especially since the two companies are direct competetors, but a feature that would REALLY put the echo over the top would be the ability to discover and directly connect to/stream from HDHomerun Prime devices encrypted channels. The echo must already be WMDRM...

I haven't heard a peep since sign up:)

Not sure if this is even possible, particularly whether the hardware and software can handle it, but would it be possible to open up two extender sessions on one echo? This could pave the way to PIP.

I would love to have something like this for the Echo:

I'm looking at a small TV I have right now; mounting the Echo on the back and bundling the power together would be a great idea.

I'm pretty sure the Echo looks larger than the AppleTV, so this particular mount wouldn't work.

While inquiring about MCX software, this is an email I received from Microsoft. I am not trying to cause drama, as I am wanting to purchase at least 3 Echo's for my home...however this is a HUGE red flag for the future of Media Center....and the possible change of mind to buy hardware that is at...

Do the Echo support mkv 3D support? and if it do what ones (side by side, up & down or Frame Packing)? hoping it supports 3D Frame Packing going to get 3 of them and the Q when they drop but if echo dont, wife sad NO! (she loves her 3D)

I would like to Beta the Echo as in hardware. Will that happen?

I'm excited to be participating in the Ceton Echo beta, however my intention is to ultimately pair it with the upcoming Q. That said, are we still looking at a '12 release of the Q or has it been pushed off? The reason for my concern is that the Echo has been nailed down for general availability...

My ReplayTV's have a feature that is very useful that I have always missed from Media Center. When setting up recordings, I am able to assign a category to the recordings. I am also able to create Category Names. Then when viewing the Recorded TV folder, I am able to view by Category and filter out...

Not sure if this is something we've seen already, but in case people want some more information on the Echo, this is what we have at the moment.

Looks like Ceton has been updating their website. In the past, Ceton has said that there will be some special Echo features only available if you have the Ceton Q. Perhaps I am reading into this statement too much, but maybe they have decided to give us InfiniTV tuners access to some of the special...

I am wondering if Ceton is working on a fix for the Media Center bug that will prevent a Media Center PC or a second Q from properly display recordings made by another Q.

My preference is to probably have more than one Q rather than one Q and multiple Echo's. I would like to be able to view...

Just a quick note to Ceton. Please do not underestimate the design of your remote control for Q and Echo. The Remote must have programmable TV Power, Volume, Mute. In fact why not allow the entire remote to be programmable. Should support macros. Please use the same IR commands as the original MS...
