Customers want an aluminum panel HTPC 200, we are listening. Here comes the HTPC 280 series. customers want a programmable VFD, the new HTPC 280 supports 20X2 Vl System VFD. The most advanced media center VFD with an internal USB connection to the board. Why not coming with a remote? We have done a survey that most of the HTPC users will use satellite or digital cable for high definition TV services, so to ensure you can switch channels via the HTPC remote, we recommend and support the Microsoft MCE Receiver and Remote. (the only remote that can learn IR code from set top box and come with IR Blaster cables) A customized receiver rack is included to enable users to convert the MCE receiver dongle to an internal solution.
