This is slightly outdated, in that the screenshots for MCE look like they're from the original version, but I'm mentioning this if only for those unfamiliar with MythTV can see it is a very comparable (and FREE as in beer) operating system. And yes John…I'll try it again soon Check out all the picture comparisons here.
Read moreNow don't get too excited, unless you're the select people in the Houston or San Antonio area, but this is at least a good sign of things to come. AT&T competing with Verizon's FIOS & all the other cable providers will hopefully mean better choices for the consumer….instead of getting stuck with Comcast which doesn't give me NFL Network…but I'm […]
Read moreThese will probably be shown at CES, so I'm sure there'll be more pictures to come from this, but until then, at least it's a teaser of what you can expect down the road. Denon appears ready to announce that all of their A/V receivers for 2007 (scheduled to be released in the middle of the year) will support HDMI […]

Actually a pretty cool box, as it can not only stream IPTV, but also OTA HDTV, and upscale everything to 1080i. And it can even do e-mail and browsing…reminiscent of the dead WebTV, so hopefully it does everything else better. And at £300, it sure better! UK firm Evesham has released the iplayer high-definition media center for £299 (584 USD), […]

With a device like this, my concern is always on the limited number of decoders. Unlike an MCE Extender where you can at least use Transcode 360, what's to save you if a new codec comes out that this player doesn't support? And at $239, maybe a Wireless MVP from Hauppauge would be more appropriate…or even an XBox360 if MCE […]

Definitely a very unique case here from Thermaltake. I consider it…like the Winnebago of cases, as it can do basically everything anybody could ever need a computer to be…at least twice! But judge for yourself if this gigantic case is worthy of your living room. Even an optional 7" LCD…if that's your sort of thing. …I do like the idea, […]

Maybe I'm alone here, but personally I don't like the look of Lian Li HTPC cases. They're so well built, I just can't understand why they choose such bland faceplates. Interesting thing about this review also, is that they comment how spacious the case is, but they use an mATX motherboard, when the case can support a Full ATX, which […]

If you can pronounce the company's name, you're already a step ahead of most. But naming aside, Scythe has made a name for themselves quite quickly for having some of the most silent components for your PC. The Ninja heatsink has so many fins that it can be run completely passive (assuming your case isn't an oven to begin with). […]

Interesting…..and seemingly overly long. But who am I to judge. Decide for yourself, assuming this is even true. VEXO is a universal remote that has been designed to control upwards of 16 devices. VEXO offers a silver-colored key-coin made of aluminum, set in black, glossy polycarbonate glass—instead of the usual chaos of buttons. Rotating and pressing operations controlled by the […]

I'm still not sure how to feel about this. I understand what PVR Wire are saying in that users already pay a fee, they shouldn't have to endure extra ads. BUT, that being said, the ads are pretty non-intrusive, and have you looked at TiVo's latest numbers? They're not making money, so assuming you don't want to see the lifetime […]
