Merlin 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 […]

Microsoft’s Charlie Owen joins me to talk about how the industry has progressed since he left the Windows Media Center team just over a year ago. Charlie has some great thoughts on Google’s TV effort, the way Apple are going and Microsoft approach. We also talk about al-carte TV consumption verses […]
Read moreIn case you missed this today, some pretty interesting comments coming from the head of the largest cable company as to why his company has lost over a quarter of a million customers. Comcast is annually ranked among the worst customer service, they have bandwidth caps, don’t offer much extras to their customers, and charge an absurd amount of fees—but […]

How pathetic am I? I could just stop there but I won’t. In a recent blog post I described how my family is currently testing out Netflix. While it was fun at first to be able to stream movies on my laptop I quickly got tired of the small screen size. Unfortunately, since we have a newborn at home […]
Read moreHere’s Ian’s first look at the tiny new AppleTV box. I’m far from sold for this, but Ian seems to like it, with the known limitations being accepted and understood of course. I like my hacked first gen Apple TV especially for listening to music so I was keen to try out the new Apple TV device. I have […]
Read moreWow, talk about a huge upgrade from a V1. I had mostly given up on SecondRun.tv’s Media Center plugin a while back, but it looks like it may be time to check back in. Pretty cool new and easy to follow interface. SecondRun.tv is an add-in for Windows Media Center (part of Windows 7) that allows you […]
