Our friends at WeGotServed recently dealt with a topic we all *believe* to be true, but they went ahead anyways and actually got some concrete facts to go along with it. I don’t think the results will surprise anyone, but maybe this is the extra motivation you needed to take the (rather expensive) plunge to solid state goodness. It’s not […]
Read moreI don’t normally post hot deals in the news page, but $85 for the HDHomeRun from SiliconDust is a pretty great deal. Just an FYI, these will work in conjunction with the HD cablecard tuners coming out later, in case you were wondering. Naturally, the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Network-Based Dual Digital HDTV Tuner works on Windows, Mac or Linux, so there’s […]

I have to admit that this news actually brought a tear to my eye. No, not simply because there actually is going to be a second season.

Read moreConsidering my family are some of the biggest Library renters ever, I shouldn’t be surprised by this…and yet I am.

I don’t know, still impressive, I just wonder if it’s […]

Looks super impressive, if only I had multiple rooms period, this thing would be well worth the investment so it seems. Remember back when […]
Read moreNow here’s one you might not have predicted (or maybe you did), Netflix’s costs on licensing streaming movie exceeds the bandwidth. NOW, the question that remains is, as the features of streaming and quality improve requiring more bandwidth, does it hit into their profits greater?

Read moreYou can either take this as good or bad news, depending on your own optimism. I think a more focused Microsoft makes for the better, as it will hopefully prevent seemingly abandoned technologies such as the Extenders. Only time will really tell what this all means, if their "TV" definition even includes MCE. Actually, Microsoft has eight core focus areas, […]

With big CE companies (i.e. Sony) starting to build streamer features into their decks this will be a very interesting segment in the next couple years. There are two models currently, the Dune HD Base 3.0 and the […]
