Quite an action packed group of releases this week, from Fast and Furious to Ultimate Fighting Championships…with a little comedy with the classic Spinal Tap. Dollhouse season 1 as well, good to know it won’t be the last time, and there’s even a never aired episode that is pretty far out there (was supposed to be the last episode). MissingRemote’s […]

If you have ever tried to build a system in an HTPC-style chassis, you have probably learned (hopefully not the hard way) how a lot of the standard tower-like heatsinks won’t fit. Picking the proper HSF is very important, since they handle the cooling of your processor in your system. You want it to be an effective cooler but also […]

Take this news with a grain of salt, as apparantly the documentary is from a local japanese news station, not exactly reuters. But interesting nonetheless and does shed some light on a format I knew nothing about. According to Wikipedia , the only big studio so far supporting the format is Warner Brothers (since March 2009), but apparantly the format […]

With my experience with Netflix streaming, quite a few of them are from Starz, so that’s pretty dissapointing. Click on over a video of the […]

The review is actually from Engadget Spanish, but here’s a snippet of what its all about. It seems like every week there are at least 3 of these types of extender devices released, which is great for the consumer as that should keep driving the prices down. If it does make it to the US, I’d implore them to replace […]
Read moreI don’t know how many of you out there have digital photo frames but this one has a feature that most don’t. Not only does it include wireless connectivity and the ability to access flickr or picaso but it is also a monitor for TRENDnet IP cameras. I personally think that’s kind of slick. This is a very interesting […]
Read moreWhile not directly HTPC related, Bjorn 3D did a nice writeup on how to make a bootable NTFS USB drive. One of those things that might come in handy some day. It’s fairly short, so I thought it was worth the read. That’s all you have to do to create a Bootable NTFS Disk but what can you do […]

Watchmen is one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases for a while, and it’s good to see that it lives up to expectations. Not just from a picture quality perspective–which you knew would be stunning–but the bonuses and extended length make it worthwhile. And it better be–the director’s cut runs over 3 hours long!! Home Theater Blog The Directors cut […]
