I thought this editorial was very funny (and informative) regarding the digital tv switch and why Obama is seeking a delay. I have to admit, before I read this article I thought the delay was yet another sign of government incompetence, but it actually turns out the opposite is true! Cheers, Joshua On Feb. 17, the nation’s TV broadcasters […]
Read moreAfter powerline networking has failed to take off, it will be interesting to see how this device works in real life. A lot of money though, so it will have to beat 802.11n speeds for me to even consider it. Like powerline products offering network connections over your electrical cables, Netgear’s solution allows you to use your co-axial cables […]

Since then, Movie Collectorz has grown into an integeral part of my Media Center setup. The combination of the […]
Read moreA no brainer recommendation to go read this review. Here is a throught review from a guy who knows SageTV inside and out. If you are interested in SageTV or an extender, check his review out. Question for Brent, does the extender play Blu-rips in client mode? I noticed comments about stand-alone mode not quite working. Setting up the […]

The CasaTunes XLi Music Server ships with four built-in internal music sources and one external source for up to six rooms of music listening. The XLe has five built-in sources and […]
Read moreMaximum increase is $5, which really isn’t too bad. The $.01 increase is pretty funny, though! Overall, I agree with the general perception: It’s not a major increase and it’s not like they haven’t given us a ton of programming to warrant some sort of increase.

Read moreI find myself spending much too much time on airplanes. This past year I earned status on one airline, and almost on a second. My fiancee is travelling so much that she is going platinum on multiple airlines. With all this time spent in the air and on the road we’ve gone through quite a few of the many options […]
