The competition continues to increase, but what normally is the battle from Extender-devices, this is the first I have seen from the blu-ray players battle. I would love to see an analysis if this actually increases sales or how many customers will actually use this feature. Just seems a bitt odd to purchase a high definition blu-ray player to download […]

This was a tough week for the pick of the week with a lot of classic comedies being released. My heart really wanted to go with Big Trouble in Little China, a classic Kurt Russel-meets-kung-fu comedy. Waterboy was a very close 3rd for what it’s worth, arguably one of Adam Sandler’s finest pieces of work. In the end…. MissingRemote’s Pick […]

The good thing about Boxee is the wonderful amount of content that is available. While it can be a bit overwhelming, it’s hard to argue with the abundance of selection. I hadn’t heard of most of these but I could see myself checking some out if I was completely bored–specifically Improv Anywhere or FailBlog sound humerous. Boxee Blog Easily […]

Thanks to our twitter friend @vinylfreak for the linkage, and remember to follow us @missingremote if you haven’t already! PC Perspective The backplate features the aforementioned 6 USB ports, as […]

Would you guys use this? Multichannel via Dave Zatz […]

That being said, everything else on the unit is apparantly fantastic boasting 200 watts per channel. Electronic House The TGR pumps out 200 watts per channel and […]

Looks like Acer really has a winner. I’ve seen one of these in person and it is pretty slick. Of course, finding a place to put a cube chassis might be a bit tricky, but if you can find one it is pretty spectacular bang for your buck. No excuses now to not have a backup folks! MSWHS If […]

As most of you probably know, I’ve been using Mythtv for my HTPC software of choice for quite some time now. It has been very stable for me to use and I’ve had it running in my house (barring system hardware destruction) for about 4 years now. Since we found out that my daughter was on her way about two […]
Read moreI really don’t understand how HDMI cables have existed this long without having any sort of locking mechanism, which is on the only reason I’m posting this press release. It’s just so easy for cables to come loose…but what do I know, since even the new display port also isn’t locking by design. Bring me back my good ol VGA […]

At only 17 inches in depth but over 7 inches in height, this new offering from Silverstone will not exactly fit in tight spaces but it should fit on your existing shelves. The inclusion of hot swap bays is intriguing and a first on what I’ve seen offered for HTPC cases. Still, these days it’s a bit too big and […]
