Our manlove for Geektonic has been obvious, but in case you were not aware, he’s continuing his weekly season premier schedule. I like it for a quick check to make sure my DVR is on task and fully pegged out. Don’t forget about our Spring/Summer TV guide if you want all the new shows listings. Wednesday, April 27 South Park […]

Those of you who have been following our MissingRemote Podcast are familiar with the dilemma I have been facing for the last few months–do I dare take the plunge on my one and only Windows Home Server system, based off of an HP MediaSmart EX495, and upgrade to the new and “improved” WHS 2011?

Not sure who all out there has seen our Spring/Summer TV guide we put together last week but head over there to see if your favorate tv shows are on the list (if not hit us up so we can get it added).

Read moreI don’t normally post these types of earnings, but I thought it’s worth it since it’s pretty significant given that Netflix now has more subscribers than Comcast AND Sirius.

Spring is here, so as usual it is time for CyberLink to release an updated version of PowerDVD (PDVD) making this number 11. With PDVD 10 already a solid product we were not expecting a revolutionary shift in the Blu-ray (BD) playback software, so the rather evolutionary changes brought to the updated application including better 3D support, a richer media […]

We have created a special forum section in response to TGB being in read-only mode during the transition. If you need to talk Windows Media Center (or anything else for that matter), you are […]
