GeekTonic took some time out to talk with Jeff Kardatzke, CTO and Co-Founder of SageTV in a little Q&A.

Driver Heaven goes outside their norm and bring in the tride and true Logitech Harmony 1100 for review. If you have read previous reviews of the unit, then not much has changed.

SilentPCReview.com continues their HTPC collection of reviews, this time up is a chassis from Moneual. Technically they sent them a whole system to review, but apparantly the chassis is sold separately as well, and that appears to be a very good thing. The chassis appears to be solid, but the system configured by Moneual is not so great. SilentPCreview With […]

Other than that, I’m sad Reno 911 is on its season finale, my DVR is already pretty empty…maybe something like this will be good. Well, unless your interested in something like "10 Things I Hate About You." Always a good idea to […]

I know all the rage recently has been around Media Browser, but Video Library is still making improvements and is completely free. It handles some things differently, and still looks pretty sweet. TheDigitalLifestyle The plugin does not scan for folders at all. It simply queries the database. This database is populated by a hidden console app that is launched […]

I know this is probably never going to get past Japan, and it is absurdly expensive, but I couldn’t help myself. I know it’s for digital signage, but how cool would this be in your home??!?!?! And of course…Happy 4th of July everyone!!! Crunchgear The main point of this system is its price tag. DNP says the $85,000 buyers […]
