I think everyone here is a fan of hacks and tweaks that let you do things that weren’t originally designed. So if you’re one of them, and you happen to be one of the unlucky Android owners of an unsupported phone, there’s a chance you can still use the new Netflix application to stream. Pretty neat…of course, if it breaks […]

THANK FOR PARTICIPATING, THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED!!! Are you getting tired of free stuff? We’re not either! This week we have a copy of CyberLink PowerDVD 11 Ultra, the brand new Blu-ray and movie playback software! We took an in-depth look at the latest iteration of PowerDVD 11 Ultra and were really pleased at their improvements throughout for a quality […]
Read moreFinally we have a week with lots of good options! I know I’m going to get a ton of grief for not choosing the fantastic Alien Anthology, which was a very close second for the pick. Butch Cassidy is an all time classic western which was entertaining even in present day. Some Like it Hot, another classic older film featuring […]
Read moreIf you have a bunch of DVDs laying around and don’t want to sell them elsewhere, this actually sounds like a good deal. Just don’t try to remember how much you paid for these movies originally…unless it was via Colombia House, in which case I’m sure you saved a lot.

We keep hearing about all the buzz of cord cutting and how so many people are doing it, and how cable companies should be terrified…and then a report like this comes out.

Plan A is the obvious way to beat these deals–Amazon has been a fantastic place to buy a TV, especially if you live in a region where you don’t get sales taxed on your purchase. That’s a hefty savings […]

Here’s a nifty little roundup of some Blu-ray players specifically in regards to their abilities in streaming Netflix content. Each costing under $200, all three players have a plethora of features. In addition to Netflix, all of them have a different mix of other streaming options such as VUDU, Amazon Instant, CinemaNow, Youtube and Major League Baseball. The LG and […]
Read moreHere’s an interesting report from Nielsen given how I was thinking that TV purchases themselves were as popular as ever. Maybe it’s down because of all the deals last year where anyone that was interested has already bought their TV sets? “The media marketplace continues to evolve and become more complex. Some consumers are clearly being driven by the economy […]
Read moreThis is more interesting news than relevant to the home theater space but I thought it worthy of front page newsdom given how much I love Rotten Tomatoes. Hopefully this isn’t the beginning of the end for them. The studio’s plans for Rotten Tomatoes seem less ambitious. The news release only states that the team of the movie review site […]

Rewind two years ago to 2009–Hulu was really starting to gain momentum and attention, as well as some other fledgling TV streaming services, but all required a keyboard and mouse for use with your Windows Media Center HTPC. Then, SecondRun.tv was released and not only made it possible to control and watch Hulu.com content, but did so in a very […]
