Pretty scary to see American Idol dominate the top 2 positions here, in fact, reality TV has the Top 3 marks. I guess people haven't heard about Lost, Prison Break or Nip/Tuck. And where's Thursday Night Football?!??! Surely limiting availability of NFL Network to 50 people would put that on top, no?!?! AMERICAN IDOL-TUESDAY FOX 17.7 AMERICAN IDOL-WEDNESDAY FOX 17.2 […]
Read moreWhile not entirely home theater related, the idea of a television network reaching this type of agreement is fantastic. But it's no surprise to me, as the UK in general has quite a large audience for their shows around the world, and this is just another means for them to expand their reach. Bravo for not fearing technology! The new […]
Read moreIt's thursday again, and right on schedule, Ian Dixon has released another excellent Media Center Show Podcast. This week, Ian grills Mike Newell, a Program Manager for the eHome team, and they talk about all sorts of things.

It appears we've finally got some official information regarding Vista MCE Remotes! But as you'll see below….they brought back the ugly!! 😛 But luckily the further you go down it gets better. Maybe they just *want* people to upgrade to more expensive Sideshow ones like Interlink's which just look soooo nice. Check out the rest of the Windows […]
Read moreFinally someone got their hands on the HAVA we've heard about since early this year. Bottom line, it's not bad, but it's the first revision so it has some kinks. But hey, at least it's got some potential. (And at least it's not vaporware) First seen at CES last January, the HAVA place shifting device began shipping in August. Initially […]

These speakers come in at less than $2000. So….I guess that's considered, a little less affordable? Anyhow, HomeTheaterHiFi actually do a fairly brief review by their standards, but at least it gets you an overview if you're in the market for some speaker. PSB has succeeded in providing an excellent 5.1 system at a great price point. The speakers all […]

If you like high end components, then you probably like Pioneer Elite, where you can guarantee to pay more than everyone else 🙂 But in defense, they've always had a great reputation on that product line. And this has a bunch of extras, and even an ethernet port! The BDP-HD1 carries a 50% price premium over the Sony BDP-S1, but […]

I love that "affordable" means over $1000 these days 😛 But nonetheless, these are pretty decent. Just don't tell my ex that, or she'll think the $300 all-in-one set she got was just plain cheap Though unassuming, the SVS SBS-01 home theater speaker system offers great sonic performance for the money. The sats deliver smooth, unfatiguing sound that will warm […]
Read moreThis is quite a move by Comcast that will probably be very successful. In the future, I don't see what's stopping them from directly competing with Netflix/Blockbuster & just allow you to view whatever movie you want…maybe older movies for unlimited usage for a flat fee, and new movies at a premium. Only time will tell. Curious to see how […]
