 | Hauppauge's DMA competes for the price-sensitive part of the market |
 | The Prismiq has changed a lot since the version we tested in our home. Sean Stanton, Director North American Sales, walked us through some of its new look and functions. |
 | We used the Roku HD1000 Digital Media Player, showing works from its art packs, instead of a painting in the living room at the showhouse |
 | Jeremy Toeman of Mediabolic demonstrated Denon's NS-S100 Network Multimedia Server, and also the NS-C200 Network Multimedia Client, which accesses content and functionality available from the server over a digital home network. Mediabolic software powers the Denon capabilities. |

| Home by Design Showhouse |
 | Home by Design, 3 days before CES |
 | A shuttle bus took visitors from the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Home by Design Showhouse built in the parking lot of the Stardust Hotel |
 | Much of the "broadband plumbing" was located in the mudroom, where we had set up a mini-work center to be out of the way of visitors |
 | Cox provided free IP telephony calls, Panasonic provided cordless phones and Gateway provided a Media Center PC for visitors to use when they visted the house |
 | The "nerve center" of the house was the Leviton Structured Media Center which brings all of the broadband connections to and throughout the home to a central distribution panel. |
 | Visitors Georgina and Norm from marketingology.com having fun posing with the Asoka PlugLink IP camera |
 | The big flat-screen TVs were tuned to the big sports events whenever they were taking place |
 | The Gateway Media Center PC in the Away Room was used for Web surfing, playing sponsor videos and enjoying pictures and music stored on the machine and moved across the network. |
 | Remote access to cameras at the house allowed us to see the house was a popular destination during the International Builder's Show |
 | This press visitor from France was interested in the set-up of the Dell Media Center PC in the bedroom and in discussing the role of PCs in the home |
