I’ve never been a TiVo user–loved the idea, but hated the monthly costs–but this new remote is a pretty cool little device. It’s not really all that unique, it’s basically taking the idea from any old cell phone, but with a remote front instead of a screen. But it’s still pretty cool, although…for $90 I would rather buy a Dinovo […]
Read moreLots more to choose from this week from last, but still not that many great ones that stand out. Obviously the Lost Complete Collection will excite many people, but that was too obvious a selection. I love LOST, but not sure I could watch every episode again. I was thoroughly bored through Dorian Gray for what it’s worth. Another great […]
Read moreI know GoogleTV is all the buzz right now on extender devices, but Sony is trying to get their name in the space and have a pretty solid product, with support for apps like Netflix, Slacker, Pandora as well as being a DLNA player, at around $130 is not all that bad. I’m not a fan of the interface, which […]
Read moreThis is the type of report that you can interpret whichever way you are biased. If you’re Hulu, you can tout this report of how you’re taking over blah blah. I tend to side more with the thoughts of this analyst–in these times of recession, people are simply looking to cut costs, and who really needs 300 TV channels? […]
Read morePretty cool app for Media Browser…if they could just support deleting, I could go back to using them. Alas, still very cool for this movie watching application. The app looks great, you can browse the media library and then set them to play on the Media Center box and the remote control feature has a very cool UI. […]
Read moreThis comes as no surprise to me, but I think there are still a lot of people who aren’t aware of the backers of these TV streaming websites. I don’t think this matters to most people, but moreso being able to obtain their shows in any matter or time that is really important. Ultimately, it’s the movie studios, TV […]
Read moreWhat surprises me most about this is the test pool is *only* 400. Considering the potential of this, you would figure they would expand it. Then again, this is only one pool, no word if it’s the only group of testers (doubt it). Bohnet, 25, who runs the marketing campaign for Google TV, is one of 400 Google employees […]
Read moreI wonder what the value add is for that $40. Side-by-side and top-bottom 3D content already play just fine an HTPC (tested personally :)) you just need to tell the TV what kind of content it is. The only thing that doesn’t work is 3D BD which requires an HDMI 1.4 driver – which I think is supposed to be […]
Read moreI’m not that familar with what the different types of PlayReady licenses mean, but it looks like SageTV now has a PlayReady Master Agreement Licensee. With names like Netflix and SiliconDust also on the list hopefully it’s a precursor to good things to come. Thanks to cyberwolf for pointing this out. PlayReady Master Agreement Licensees SageTV, LLC [Approved Microsoft® […]
Read moreI’m going to file this one away in the "maybe someday" category of home theater kit, but well worth a read to see what feature will hopefully trickle down in the mainstream AVRs. While most people probably know NAD more for their CD players and integrated amplifiers, they have a whole line of home theater equipment, from receivers to […]
