DailyTech The FCC would not simply take the airwaves away and would reportedly spend about $12 billion to buy the airwaves back and $9 billion to move homes using OTA TV to digital or subscription services. However, the auction for the reclaimed spectrum would […]

The folks at MediaSmartServer.net got their hands on the little Myka device and ran it through the paces. Not a terrible little unit, but not without some flaws. The units start at $199 though, so definitely weigh your options and needs before putting down that kind of coin on an extender-type device. MediaSmartServer I tested different file types from […]

Dave got his hands on the new GlideTV HTPC controller which was all the rage last week, and for good reason. It’s a pretty innovative concept, but coming in at $150 is tough to swallow, especially given the other controller options that are out there (the similarly priced Dinovo Mini is pretty darned good alread).
