Rabi,
I have been doing a lot of reading on the internet about "Home Control" ever since I got the June
issue of "Sound & Vision" magazine (The Connected Home).  I have read your review of the
HD1000 and read material on your web site.  The problem that I am having is trying to figure
out what the options are today in this arena, which of the companies that have products in this
arena might be worth pursuing (Creston, Premise, etc.).  I understand your comments about ECP,
but I am not sure I totally understand what the "serial or network protocol" is that the HD1000
should have.  If you could write a "beginners guide" to this area (post it on your web site
would be fine), I am sure I and a number of other Roku folks new to this whole arena might
be better able to start understanding all of this.

Thanks for any help you can provide us novices,
Fred
