There’s a lot of talk these days about folks wanting to cut down on their bills and configuring their homes to be able to watch TV without a cable subscription, or “cutting the cord” as it’s called, for a number of reasons. All which seem to be related to a feeling that maximum value is not being derived from a […]
Read moreI was really tempted to pick “Drive Angry” as my pick…and then I watched it, so that was the easiest decision in my life–it feels like Nic Cage is becoming the new Segal, just going from one weird action movie to the next. This one was just boring throughout IMO. Outside of “American Graffiti” there’s not much else that had […]

AMD’s Llano sure looks like it has an awful lot of potential as AMD tries to get back in the game on par with Intel’s Sandy Bridge. With Computex ongoing I imagine we’ll see and hear a lot more about specifics of this upcoming platform. Our best guess is that desktop-based Llano is to make an appearance sometime in July […]
Read moreIt only took the company going bankrupt, almost disappearing, and getting bought out by Dish, to FINALLY wake up and smell the coffee that people will not pay $5 to rent the same movie they can rent for $1 ANYWHERE ELSE!

I’m not sure how I feel about this case…it’s somewhat different that’s for sure! The Sentey SS1-2421 case is part of Sentey’s Slim Series lineup and comes with a 450W SFX12V power supply. The Sentey SS1-2421 can house a micro-ATX or ITX motherboard, and up to four low profile PCI devices, as an HTPC or an office computer. The front […]

This isn’t directly Home theater focused, but somewhat since they sell so much home theater gear.

I’m not familiar at all with Blinkx but they seem to growing pretty fast. This announcement that they’ll be on Roku boxes only makes it that much easier to consume. The app has four categories to browse through: Sports, News, Popular and Fun, all of which draw from Blinkx’s premium content partners. While the company started as just a video […]
Read moreHere’s a mini-ITX motherboard from ECS that costs $129 with a pretty full set of features if you need. The foremost feature the H67H2-I boasts isn’t just its size. It’s the potential it offers once you add all the necessary aforementioned components. But, there are other worthy features like built- in Bluetooth, SATA 6Gbps, and USB 3.0 ports. It could […]
Read moreSheesh, what a tough week. I will mention Platoon, which is one of the best Vietnam war movies ever made, I really wanted to make it my pick but figured I should stick to something a bit more recent. But if you have never seen it, what a better way than on its new Blu-ray release. MissingRemote’s Pick of the […]
Read moreI debated posting this given that we just announced the 3-tuner version for $250 available, but now you can also pre-order the SIX tuner version for $500! Before you scoff remember that the Ceton is a 4-tuner unit and costs $400. Availability is showing July 18th, which is a week earlier than the 3-tuner version. Specs: Based on two 3-tuner […]
