With the advent of my HTPC sitting front and center in the living room, attached to the plasma TV, I quickly realized that I don’t feel like going upstairs to use my regular computer. First off, it’s warm up there. Second, even with 3 screens, it’s not the same as a 50" plasma. Third, my home theater speakers are much […]
Read moreWe’ve covered a lot of news on the new GoogleTV, what it may mean for the home theater market and crowd, especially for the price. Here’s an in-depth review of the box with lots of screenshots and videos for you to make your own conclusion. Of course, almost none of this web video would play without a robust Flash implementation, […]
Read moreI had never heard about this show until it was cancelled, which is somewhat surprising given the fact that it aired for five seasons. An accurate portayal of modern day polygamy, without being judgemental? That definitely sounds like a difficult prospect, but it must have worked well for a while. No doubt, the acting abilities of Bill Paxton and Jeanne […]
Read moreThe Gates got cancelled last week, but I had not heard about it until now. As I posted elsewhere, my wife and I gave up on this show after just two episodes. Clearly, the cancellation is no surprise at all to me. You know you have problems when Lindsay Lohan wants you to stick around: Though even actress Lindsay Lohan […]
Read moreThis is another show I decided to record just for the heck of it and have yet to watch a single episode. Based on the quick demise, I may not bother, either. However, for the handful of fans the show had, there is a bit of good news… Though Whole Truth has been cancelled, there is some positive news for […]
Read moreMerlin is practically geared for kids, but I just find it a lot of fun to watch. I honestly cannot explain it, but the show is entertaining enough for the wife and I to continue watching. If you can take it at face value, there are quite a few laughs to be had between Merlin and Arthur, as they grow […]
Read moreI had no idea I was going to keep comiing up with "catchy" titles for these TV show posts, but I’m having fun with it. Hopefully you are, too. Anyhow, NBC has cancelled Jimmy Smits’ Outlaw after just four episodes had aired. The wife and I were rather enjoying the court cases and their twists (much like L&O) on real […]
Read moreYou might have heard by now of the Wireless HDMI technology that Intel has started building within some of their laptops, and here are two options for other laptops or systems that you would want connected to your HTPC. The specs mention HDMI 1.3 satisfaction, but from what I can tell the review did not test the transmission of the […]
Read moreCBS has announced that they are cutting Medium down from 22 episodes to just 13. This is almost certainly the end of the line for the resident soothsayer. While I never had any interest in this show, I know it had a loyal following and a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Medium has suffered a big decline […]
Read moreYes, it’s true. Syfy has decided that the Cylons are no longer allowed to tell their side of the story. I admit that I have not yet watched a single episode of the show, but I have it recorded and had been looking forward to it. Sadly, I held off for this very fear. At least now I can watch […]
