I've never posted a link to DL.TV, and that's really my fault so I apologize. I should show my loyalty considering I used to watch this often. The show features Patrick Norton, from the old Tech-TV glory days, and they often feature home theater programming.

Originally, the thinking behind MCE's was that they had to look like other A/V Equipment and be connected directly. With so many Extender devices, it's […]
Read moreGood to see this time slowly coming, if still it's with Cable Lab's monopoly on the technology. Hopefully the wider distribution & usage of cable cards will increase awareness to the point where we actually have competition in the market…or at least a better product. Connected Home 2 Go  Motorola started commercial shipments of CableCARD set-tops this month and will […]
