PVR Wire
Not the very best, but quite useful at times. Used to be a separate site, is a category in the TV squad site for a while now.
[Eng]

HTPC News
News about HTPC software and hardware. Not frequently updated.
[Eng]

Silent PC Review
Comprehensive reviews of quiet PC components, good when you are building a HTPC.
[Eng]

AVS Forum
AVS Forum covers everything to do with audio / visual. It's not too good on the software side of things
but for info on hardware, it's a god-send. Also has big sections on TV's - explaining model-by-model how to 1:1 pixel map, etc. -- good stuff
[Eng]

The Green Button
Yes, I know it's MCE based, but occasionally stuff pops up here that's front-end independent and when it does, it's good
[Eng]

Missing Remote
HTPC news. Software and hardware
[Eng]

Homemedia.fr
A HTPC (PCHC in french) focused website with a forum, some news, tests and recommended configurations.
