CasaTunes unveils low profile XLi and XLe music servers

November 19, 2009 Mike Garcen

Mmmm…multi-zone audio. I wish I had a large enough house to have to worry about this. But for those that do, CasaTunes makes use of the good ol Silverstone chassis to brand it’s own client units to make your audio life easier. SlashGear The XLi supports up to six output zones and the XLe supports up to 12 and […]

November 19, 2009 Mike Garcen

Most of you running WHS are probably already using this, but in case you haven’t Power Pack 3 has some nice improvements if you use the TV functionality of your Windows MCE system. A couple other updates as well, still not sure why it took so long to release. MediaSmartServer.net The primary focus of Power Pack 3 is to improve […]

Q&A: MadeForMediaCenter.com Developer Andrew Cherry

November 18, 2009 Mike Garcen

In case you missed it, yesterday there was an announcement of a new plugin for Media Center called MadeForMediaCenter.com. The concept is less than revolutionary–having an online repository where you can download apps for your Media Center as simple as the App Store works on the iPhone, and basically how Meedio had their plugin store–but for one reason or another, […]

Netflix Streaming to Sony TVs and Players

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

Another win for Netflix, as they are active in a couple Sony devices. They have really ramped up on devices and it’s pretty awesome for consumers. PRNewsWire Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX), the world’s largest online movie rental service, today announced that Netflix members can now instantly watch thousands of movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix directly to TVs via […]

Warner Reveals DVD2Blu Program

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

I guess their HD-DVD trade-up program was fairly successful after all, since Warner studios is now offering a similar program for trading in your DVDs to obtain Blu-rays. I’m surprised this charge isn’t coming from someone like Sony, who have way more invested not only in Blu-ray titles but players as well. HighDefDigest For as low as $7.95 per disc, […]

AnandTech Tests GPU Accelerated Flash 10.1 Prerelease

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

Remember that review of the ION we did, and that nasty issue it had with Hulu flash content that Adobe and Nvidia promised to fix? Looks like they have made good on that promise and have a pre-release version of the new 10.1 Flash software available that remedies that problem! Kudos to both companies on working quickly on this resolution.

OPPO BDP-83SE Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player First Look

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

How do you top one of the highest rated blu-ray players on the market? If you’re OPPO, you almost double the cost, and add even more features to it. It’s hard to argue with the company, but I think the majority of users will be more than happy with the $500 version for their Blu-ray playback needs.I think this version […]

DTV coupon time is over! Many of you didnâ€™t care, apparently

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

I caught this bit of news the other day and meant to post it sooner, if only because I’m not at all surprised by the results. All the money that was spent for the whole transition was absurd, but hey, at least those that did redeem it didn’t have to go a day without television! CrunchGear The government mailed out […]

PrimeDTV Unveils PHD-HM5 Networked Media Player

November 17, 2009 Mike Garcen

Hooray, another Extender device! This one is a bit different as it doesn’t appear to have any storage internally, and supports 1080p. I am curious to see it matched up against its competitors, but the more the merrier in this fun filled market of devices similar! i4u The device has one HDMI output and one Component Y-Pb-Pr output. Other […]
